How to cope over the next five weeks?

[justkitty]

Tomorrow I hit 37 weeks and at the moment I just feel like 'if I get through today I've made an achievement and one step closer to my homebirth'

But it dawned on me today that I will spend everyday wondering if this is it?! But I could have five weeks of this ahead of me and wonder how I won't go mad?!

Any tips?

Hi
I'm 37 weeks today and also planning a homebirth (with pool). Tomorrow is my last day at work and I'm wondering too how I won't go mad. I'm just trying to read lots of positive homebirth stories and about signs of labour and hope to rest alot, make some food to freeze, gradually sort the house out a bit, wash the baby's clothes, etc to try and keep busy.
I've got bronchitis as well so I'm hoping some rest will clear that up before having to give birth!!
Hope it all goes well for you xx
