Almost at full term 40 weeks (10 months) 😳
The emotions, the fears, the uncertainty of birth feels overwhelming at this stage. 
.
Your hormones are flaring and you find yourself crying, then angry, then happy, then just SO F*cken uncomfortable in your body.
.
This final stage feels like an eternity - like ground hogs day 😩
.
Pregnancy has stretched me to my limits both mentally and physically. 
.
My body changes, my emotions are heightened—I’m caught between mourning my old life and feeling anxious yet excited for what’s ahead. 
.
After birth, I know the hormonal shift is overwhelming, and that breastfeeding can feels like a full-time job on its own. 
.
And then there are the profound shifts in our identity, the rearranging of our priorities, and the unexpected ways our relationships change.
.
If this stage feels like A LOT and you’re going through it -know that you’re not alone.❤️❤️❤️
