Feeling emotional nearing edd

Im a ftm, my edd is approx next week. I cant help but to feel very emotional these few days. As much as I can’t wait to meet the little human that has been kicking my ribs, I definitely am going to miss myself, my me time, my personal time with husband, us doing whatever we want without worrying about anything and just going out of the house whenever i want. I feel like after birth im going to lose myself or even fall into depression due to being very overwhelmed etc. Any mummies feeling the same ☹️ #FTM

I’m almost a month PP and the feeling of overwhelm is intense for me. As I did not have a confinement nanny, there were many things I did not know how and what to do. I relied a lot on this forum and read through what other mummies went through, really helped a lot. The pumping was also a pain as I’ve to wake up every 3 hours to pump and I really felt like giving up. It’s really important to have family members giving their moral support and lend a helping hand. And lastly, my life revolves around my baby now, husband and I seldom communicate anymore as every topic will be about the baby which is quite sad some times. But I’m still coping and overcoming it, it gets better as the days past.
