40 w 1 day self portrait

ma

I am over my due date! My doc won’t schedule an induction until 41 weeks. I felt like a failure as a mom because my body was not ready on my due date. I know it’s just a matter of time before my little one enters the world. I am just scared with anticipation. Every time I go to the bathroom I expect my water to break. I had one day where I was really sad but I’m slowly getting to a place where I’m at peace with whenever my labor happens. I drew this self portrait for how I was feeing. It’s literally the only time in this pregnancy I have not fully enjoyed being pregnant. I have loved every single day of being pregnant until I was faced with the thought of it going into overtime. I’m sure once my little one is in my arms all of these thoughts will drop away.
