Do you have any tips for anything I can do in the lead up? I'm really struggling with this.
I'm currently 31 weeks. Most likely to going to have a small for dates baby some time in the 32-34 weeks window, due to placental insufficiency.
I'm devastated. I'm scared for my baby and I'm scared for me (I'm terrified of hospitals and was planning a home birth, so having a c-section is my worst nightmare). I just can't seem to come to terms with it. It doesn't help that I have completely lost faith in my body. The baby was conceived by IVF after a very long time ttc. I saw the end of this pregnancy as the end of that horrible period in my life and now it just means more trauma.
Any words of wisdom? Anything practical I can do to prepare? I'm the type of person for whom focussing on something practical will usually help.
Thanks in advance.
