What should I be “doing”

Question

Anyone else at this stage feel like they should be doing more? Like I have this unsettled energy that I should be DOING something for baby. I know I’m growing and feeding them but I’m all jittery. FTM if that helps.

Answer

Read books to prepare you for labor and delivery! Never too early to start preparing!

Answer

Sounds like pretty normal FTM energy. I think I just drowned myself in planning, researching, and organizing, but I do remember waiting be the hardest part for a while. There is stuff you can do to prepare, but yeah, at times it feels like time crawls (not the second time around though, nothing makes time speed up like wrangling a toddler lol). Try not to overthink things if you can, good luck!

Answer

I would say try to mentally prepare for the birth you want. I personally have been working with my douka to try to insure an unmedicated natural hospital birth. But I also have a toddler so he takes away all my energy 🤣

Answer

I second reading books on labour. Being mentally prepared for delivery is so important and is not talked about enough. If you’re on Instagram two really good accounts to check out are @theautonomymommy and @birth_ed
