I just want to vent... please no judgements. Only advice
I am 9 months pregnant and I’m due August 26th. I have a 3 year old who has never attended daycare before and hasn’t been babysat by anyone other than his father and I. His father insists that he be in the room with me when I give birth. I insist he stays home to our child. He keeps telling me his uncle wants to watch him. His uncle is an OLD MAN that DRINKS BEER and SMOKES and just had BRAIN SURGERY and has BACK PROBLEMS and KNEE PROBLEMS and he falls asleep ANYWHERE! Now why on earth would I feel comfortable with his uncle watching our child. NO! He keeps trying to convince me but the idea of that being an option stresses me out. I have nobody to watch my child while I give birth. As if that isn’t stressful enough the super for my apartment JUST NOW wants to come and do repairs because the building is having an inspection. WORST TIMING EVER! So now while I’m trying to maintain a clean house for my baby these dirty workers are coming through the house stomping around with their big clunky boots giving me more things to clean up after. It’s disturbing my sanity and stressing me out. I still have things to buy, things to clean, bottles to sanitize, hospital bags to pack, grocery shopping to do, appointments to attend for my son and I. I am drowning. I could literally have this baby 2-3 weeks from now.... if that! I’ve been having contractions like crazy, my blood pressure was high at my last OBGYN appt and I have all types of appointments and things to do. I am so stressed out I really just want to cry my eyes out because I am totally overwhelmed at this point. Nothing is going the way it should.
