6 more days til induction, can't sleep, can't eat, I feel lightheaded from panick, paralyzed with fear of pain/possibly dying. I don't know what to do with myself, I'm spiraling 🤢😰☠️

You’re going to do amazing momma, try to relax. I know easier said than done but you’ll be in great hands.. your baby will be here in no time and it truly is the greatest feeling in this world. I was terrified and the moment I saw my little girl, there was nothing in this world I wouldn’t have done for her. You’ll feel the same. Goodluck xo 🥰🤍🤍

Does anyone else have a fear of dying during labor or after labor when you are at home? I’ve seen several TikTok’s and heard of tons of woman dying after they were sent home from the hospital due to postpartum preeclampsia. I am terrified.
Kyra
I've had preeclampsia AFTER baby was born not while I was pregnant but it is a scary situation but honestly now I know the symptoms to look out for I'm more prepared. You can buy an at home blood pressure kit and watch for swelling and blurred vision honestly blood pressure was my main symptom. You'll be fine love relax

Thank you! I am taking baby aspirin everyday to keep my blood pressure down. My ob recommended me to do that. She might want me to take it after babies born too but I’m not sure yet. I’m glad you were okay tho! I know they don’t know what causes it and it can be very dangerous

My husband complains & acts like he is dying if he doesn’t get 12 hours of sleep every night. I fear for when baby comes. I know I’ll be doing everything but he will still complain even if I’m the one with no sleep while he sleeps.
Victoria
Oh, if he’s not one to get angry when you bring up a topic that’s serious that you really are worried about id bring it to his attention. Like hey, I know you need your sleep, and I know you’ll be a good dad (so he doesn’t feel attacked about being a dad) but we may not always get plenty of sleep we want to get and we may lose a lot some days to take care of the baby. I’d start it off very simple and see how he reacts.
