hi amberj

the rollercoaster ride you describe can somewhat be put down to the surging birth hormones in your body, increasing oxytocin and endorphin levels

go with the feeling, let it out, be emotional as this is part of pregnancy and the lead up to birth...crying actually helps to relax you as it is a form of release and further increases your birthing hormones

many women describe feeling like this prior to going into labor, some women feel calm and tranquil, everyone is different

dont focus on what other people are saying, focus on you and your baby

it is very normal for a first time mother to go 10 days past her estimated due date

big hugs to you...and maybe book some pampering for yourself so you feel fantastic (increase those endorphins)
