Aa
Not ready!!!
ah so I'm a FTM, 36 weeks pregnant and I am so NOT ready for labor!! I just don't see myself giving birth to my child, I just keep thinking I won't be capable of delivering her, literally. I'm always so tired and I have this terrible cold I can't stop coughing. I'm constipated too and can't even go to the bathroom to number 2 without bursting in tears, how the heck am I going to deliver my baby???
I took fiber gummies to keep me regular. It took a week or two, but once they kicked in I was a lot more regular
Oh mama, I'm sorry you're feeling so overwhelmed! Things will get better and your body will know what to do when the time comes. You have reserves of strength you don't know you have!
For your consipation, I know this sounds weird, but try elevating your feet when you're sitting on the toilet so that you're in more of a squatting position ( don't ACTUALLY squat, obviously, you'd be very unbalanced). This reshapes your colon into a much more ergonomic position for pooping and can really help with constipation. With my DS, I just put the bathroom trash can under my feet and it helped immensely!

Your body will know what to do. Its scary with it being the unknown but we as women are made for this and youll be just fine. Youll have a new love soon and itll all be worth it. Best wishes. Xx
Thank you ladies for your kind words! I haven't realized til now how down I have been lately. Don't know if it's because of the cold, or because I spent almost 24/7 at home..
Take something for your constipation I had it really bad dr prescribed me some mess for that . You will be able to deliver your baby when it's time the will power will be there it hurts but if I can and this is my second you can!!!
By rembering your little girl needs you and believing in yourself. I dont know you but i have faith in you and know your more than capable.
I've felt that way too. I was told that you just get this burst of energy feeling and you do it. It's like second nature. Your body will help you, don't over think it.
