my feelings before induction

Carsons_mommy

I feel so overwhelmed, stressed, sad, aggravated, nervous, scared, happy, and excited all at the same time. Last night I just felt like crying for no reason and I told my husband and then rolled over and laid my head on his shoulder and cried for a minute. He picked on me a little bit and asked me if my pp depression was already kicking in and asked me if I was going to kill him in his sleep haha we just laughed about it and I felt like better after I got some tears out. Has anyone else felt like this right before having your baby? Ill be going in tomorrow at 5pm to get started on cervidil

This is my first baby and I still jave a couple of weeks but I feel like that too sometimes.. All the emotions mixed into one. Completely normal.

I go in tomorrow morning to start induction, I'm feeling the same way! This is my first baby, so even though I feel like I have everything I need and have seen every video, read every book. I feel so unprepared!

In the weeks leading up to the birth of my son, I was very optimistic. However, as I went overdue and scheduled my induction, I felt as if my body had failed me and that I had failed my son. I was excited to finally hold him, but I was hurt that I couldn't do it alone, even though I was 2cms & 70% by 38 weeks. Sometimes we just need a little help and that is ok because what matters most is baby getting into this world safely. Trust me, when you hear the baby cry for the first time, you will be overwhelmed with love.

@misskristin thanks for posting that! It's exactly what I'm going through.

I had been very optimistic too until last night. The more I think about it though I realized I just need to focus on my baby right now and not worry about anything else thats bothering me right now. I just felt bad for being so sad the day before I get induced. Im glad to see im not the only one though that's felt similar
