scared - labour.....

[BeckyJ]

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

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...

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

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 ) so last night I took a note of how often I wake to turn over because of the pain. The answer is every hour! 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 We will manage. And if we can't, we live in a wonderful world of anaesthetics.

And then we'll have babies

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 I just loved the contadiction

Baby will make everything worthwhile

Sorry I go on so much!

shi**ing it!

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

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. 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

 

[leckershell]

It's not as bad as you would expect, honestly. But I was bricking it too. x

 

[Suzie and Faith]

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!


we'll be just fine

i think if i wasnt in denial, i'd be terrified!!
