I'm nervous!!!

[Vickyleigh]

I know I have still got 21 weeks to go but I can't help but get scared about giving birth. I know it's going to be worth it and as long as my baby comes out ok then I don't really care how much it will hurt but I can't help but be nervous and scared. I just can't imagine how much it will hurt and then I think about things like - what if I drop the baby and say I'm pushing the pram down a hill, I accidently let go and the pram goes on to a main road and crushes it. There's loads of things going through my mind and I am starting to get really really nervous! This tiny little human depends on me and what if I get something wrong?! Does anyone else feel like this?

Definately, I trod on my cats tail the other day and I felt sooo guilty, then that night I had a nightmare that I trod on my babies fingers and squashed them !!!
I also keep worrying that my partner won't ever take enough time off work to spend with me and the baby as he works 7 days a week at the moment. I'm getting on his nerves because I keep asking him stupid questions like "where are we going to take the baby when it's born?", and "how many days a month do you think you will be able to take off to go for days out?"
I try not to think too many horrible things though because my emotions are running so high at the moment that if I start to blub, I may never be able to stop!!!

i felt like this with my first, but i really enjoyed labour and birth, its such an amazing experience, and as for caring for your baby, it all comes naturally, you'll be fine hun, don't worry

Oh I hope I enjoy it too! I can imagine me saying "please let the pain go away I promise I will never do anything wrong ever again!"

My sister has just had a beautifull baby boy. She fell asleep in hospital while breast feeding him, when she woke up he had fallen out of the bed and into her handbag on the floor! He didnt even wake up! Well..... she was absolutly hysterical. But the nurse laughed and said it happens all the time.

that is funny. if it had been me i probably wouldnt have seen the funny side straight away but that story has brightened my day up a treat!

 

[Tangerinedream]

oh nooooo, i would have been hysterical too. im laughing now, just at the image of the baby in her handbag but i would feel like the worst mum in the world if it happened to me

I was so scared when i was expecting my 1st and i had a awful birth and it was so painful, took me 5 years to talk myself into going through it again and baby 2 was so different and easy, so it's true every baby is different, my last was painful but you do enjoy the whole experience and now i am expecting again i am worried about going through it again even though this will be number 4 It's natural and no 2 are ever the same, i will still worry right up until the day i am in labour it's normal hun so don't worry

Hi

I was the same with my last pregnancy but if it gives you some hope as soon as i was brought up to my room i said i was going to have another baby everyone looked at me like i was crazy and maybe i am !!
I think its such an amazing experience and even though i didnt have the best labour it was worth every minute of it when i look at my baby girl

That sums me up completely at the moment! With me being unwell at the moment too, I have all of the above to worry about as well as the health of the baby. And the size of it (its been estimated at weighing between 7 1/2 and 9lb, and I'm only tiny!!!)

I think every mum to be has some worries about the delivery or birth itself. It just wouldn't be normal if they didn't have concerns.

I'm more worried about looking after a young baby. It's been so long since I held a little one and there seems so much to remember.

I'm hoping it'll all come naturally once the baby is here. Either that or I'll have to get some baby books quick!

 

[Julie33]

I'm nervous too, keep thinking I'll be crap at labour and even worse at looking after the poor wee mite. Dreading the first night home with the baby cause i have no baby expereince at all

Will just keep logged onto this forum for the first 6 months and you lot can help me

I'm weird - I'm actually looking forward to it and I've never done it before. My mum done it 5 times so I think to myself that it can't be that bad.....maybe nearer the time I'll get scared. I'm not saying I'm not nervous, but maybe nervous in a good way
