this mite sound really silly but since ive moved to tri 3 ive been really scared about labour, i guess its because its getting closer

does anyone else feel the same? i feel really silly :oops:
 
I'm scared of labour, especially as random people decide to come up to me in the street and tell me how awful their wifes labour was! (The tesco delievery man went into all the gorey details about his wifes labour as I was trying to unload the shopping!!)

The way I look at it is, its gonna hurt like hell, but it WILL be worth it when your holding your precious baby...
 
cheers kiki thats wat i keep tellin myself x
 
Im bricking it too hun
is sooooooooooooo glad ididnt see that bbc3 programme that Suzie saw :D

i try not to think about it to much :fib: :rotfl:
but as ive said before Collier is under stricked instructions to behave him self and come out a smoth as butter on toast in less the 2 munutes with no need for pain relife :rotfl:

it will al be worth it in the end and al forgoten once we get our little bundles of cuteness in you arms :hug:
 
At the risk of sounding crazy, I'm worrieed because I'm not scared. I can't work out if it's denial or acceptance :D

I hate being pregnant. I'm going to the doctor today to get signed off of my last 3 weeks of work (with the encouragement of my work who have already given me flowers and things even though I don't have the sick note yet :D ) so last night I took a note of how often I wake to turn over because of the pain. The answer is every hour! :shock: I don't have long lies to make up for it because eventually turning over doesn't work as I'm still sore from my last snooze.

I know labour will be hell. But if the hell part goes on for a day they'll cut LO out of me anyway. And if I decide I can't cope there are lots of drugs available. I'd rather use as little in the way of drugs as possible, but if labout goes on for a very long time and I'm exhausted I will have an epidural.

I really liked the program Dawn... Gets a baby. You can still see it for the next 3 days on bbc iplayer online. It showed 2 water births with just gas and air and they managed. And the second baby was there - they didn't seem to care about the labour at all :D We will manage. And if we can't, we live in a wonderful world of anaesthetics.

And then we'll have babies :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

I hope Kim doesn't mind me saying this but one of the most reassuring things I have read was written by her, just after the birth. It went along the lines of - it was hell, I'm never ever doing it again, but I'd do it 10,000 times to have Leah :D I just loved the contadiction :D

Baby will make everything worthwhile :hug: :hug: :hug:

Sorry I go on so much!
 
Its natural to be worried/scared. You dont know what to expect. By the time your due date comes you will forget these feelings coz you just want baby out :wink:
 
I'm not scared native as it may sound i'm really looking forward to it!! Think it'll be the best experience of my life :) Am really starting to think about my options tho, decided to go to midwife run unit, am at the hospital tomorrow for my anti-d injections so will ring in morning to see if i can go and view (all depends on how many people are there at that time) and also to quiz the midwife. :D What does worry me is that i've not seen the same midwife twice!!.. and feel this may hinder the birth i'm hoping for xx
 
It's not as bad as you would expect, honestly. But I was bricking it too. x
 
I've been calm but not i'm petrified. But i'm calmer thinking that it's the only way i'll get to hold LO and at least the pain has a purpose!

I've been waking up in the night scared about labour!

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
we'll be just fine :)
 
i think if i wasnt in denial, i'd be terrified!! :lol: :lol:

luckily i still believe that im superhuman and its not going to hurt me cos im soooo special :rotfl: :rotfl:
