Feeling anxious about giving birth, what to do?

Question

I'm nervous and anxious about having my baby. I don't know what to do with my time anymore. I'm always around the house and watching baby shows and I'm just going nuts. What can I do to get my mind off of this, it's driving me nuts?

Answer 1

i am 36+2 weeks and going nuts myself!! i understand exactly how you feel, i would advise spending time with friends as you will be busy when bubs born...all i ever think about is when im going to go into labour and IT SUCKS! i just cant wait til i have her..the bad thing is i dont have any way of getting around or any friends where im at and my bf works at night and sleeps all day.so yeah..but if you have means of transport etc go out and treat yourself!..lots of luck with your baby!!!

Answer 2

Go pamper your self.  Get a mommy massage, a manicure and a pedi.  Go for a walk, a drive, a swim.  Read a book.  Free your mind and do the things you liked to do bf you were consumed with babies arrival.  Once baby arrives you'll have little time to focus on you, for at least a couple of months.

Answer 3

try to get out the house and maybe go see a movie or something maybe go hang out with girlfriends im 37 weeks and i am going crazy also really nothing to do but wait

Answer 4

you can find some sort of hobbys, i did my sons room to pass time and then i started walking with some music and just enjoying the process of being pregnant.  Once the baby is out you will miss it, I did and all you can do is enjoy it because you get the enjoy the baby all to yourself for nine month and once the baby is out you have to share, it is wonderful but you can do somehting like a scrap book or something....good luck

Answer 5

I definitely say go to the movies, get pampered for the time that you have left, you might not have a chance after the baby is born! I'm 33 weeks and really anxious too but the more your anxious seems like the time passes more slowly. Get out of the house and do other things while you still can! Best of luck
