Re: 37 weeks pregnant and very stressed
Hi, stop and breathe... this is a really stressful time even without all the conflict.
Can your mum come to you?
Do you have the kind of relationship where your boyfriend tends to tell you what you can and can't do, or is this a one-off? He might be quite stressed too I guess. If he is stopping you doing what you want to do, that isn't very helpful. But you don;t *have to* argue with him, just say very calmly that you are going and when you will be back, and ignore his attempts to start a row.
Do you have any friends nearby who can give you a bit of support, time out for a cuppa, that kind of thing?

As for the labour, I just kept reminding myself that women have been giving birth for centuries, well before there were hospitals, and the species has survived... you will be fine. honestly. x
