Write a new blog
I´m starting to feel a bit anxious now. Not about giving birth (well i´m sure i´ll get nervous when it starts) but about being a mum, having a baby.
I don´t react well to change in routine and to stressful situations (I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks) and my boyfriend also is on medication for the same thing so i´ll be worried about him too when i´ll really need his support. We´re both really excited too but I´m in no hurry to do this quite yet. It´s so silly when you´re waiting 9 months complaining about how slow it´s going and at the last minute wanting more time. I don´t feel at all prepared.
I´m hoping these are all normal reactions and that I am strong enough to do this.

I read your blog and I totally went through the same thing. I was so ready to be done being pregnant because I had PUPPS and I was miserable, but at the same time I was scared of the massive changes that were going to happen once we had the baby, It was even worse after we scheduled to be induced the next day, I was terrified that I wouldn't be a good mom and I had a serious panic attack after scheduling it with the doctor, I kept asking my husband if we should cancel the induction.. turns out we didn't end up being induced because right before they got the pitocin hooked up my water broke and sent me into labor, so even if I had canceled the induction I would have gone into labor then anyway, and I was pretty glad to have been at the hospital already when that happened. But the idea of "tomorrow I'm going to be a mom and be responsible for a little person" that scared me to death.. I even confessed to my best friend that I couldn't believe they were going to let me walk out of the hospital with a baby when I obviously had no idea what I was doing! (she laughed at me!)
Now that my baby girl is here though it's hard to remember what I did with myself before her, but I still sometimes have minor anxiety attacks when I think of things like "she's going to be a teenager some day" and I like to think that is normal :-)

You WILL be strong to do this-I too suffered from panic attacks, but trust me, something will overtake you during the experience and you and your man will be amazing. Thanks for your comment on my blog--it will be the same for you if not more when you see your babe's face. Best wishes to you!!
