Well I had a really horrible night last night and I'm not quite sure why!
I didn't get to sleep until about 5am because I wasn't feeling too great - i.e. I felt a bit sick on and off plus the baby was constantly kicking me all night which he only usually does during the day! Also, I can't tell you the amount of times I had to get up to go the toilet (just passing urine) and then my back started hurting. I actually started to wonder if I was about to go into premature labour (I'm 24 weeks' pregnant)! I have also felt seriously anxious since yesterday evening and like there's loads of adrenaline surging round my body. I accept that I'm naturally an anxious person anyway but recently I have been quite calm especially as I've been working really hard on practising yoga and doing hypnotherapy/meditation in order that I can keep calm for my baby and to try and help myself out during the labour process (something which I'm really scared of).
I've kind of lost all my confidence again over the whole labour thing and looking after the baby because of the way I pretty lost control of my mind and couldn't calm myself down last night. How on earth am I going to cope when I go into labour and afterwards, how will I keep calm when the baby comes into this world?! I'm also really scared that I'm going to be sick throughout labour (I have a sickness phobia).
I still feel really anxious today and I don't understand why. I also feel all tearful but I suppose that's not helped by the fact that I'm so tired. I really can't bear the thought of going into work tomorrow and I just don't know what to do!
Sorry for the rant!
