How do you deal with the anxiety

summer • Henry 💙

FTM here! As my due date gets closer and closer i’m just having so much anxiety over thinking about the first few weeks after baby boy arrives. My SO’s family is very invasive and mine can be as well. I’m getting so nervous about the visitors (praying no one shows up unannounced) and just letting go of the anxiety that hopefully people are considerate enough to give us a few days before they all just show up. It’s just hard to think about carrying this baby for 9 months and the moment he arrives, everyone trying to take him from my arms and not giving me that time with him. Im sure i’m just overthinking and everyone tells me people really don’t make an effort once baby is here (i hope that doesn’t happen, i want him to have a strong family). i get that everyone’s excited but no one is as excited as me and my SO! I feel like i need to tell everyone in a mass PSA that we will let everyone know when we’re ready for visitors but his family will get so damn offended by that. Help:(
