Is anyone else really nervous?

Question

Like I'm so scared about getting this baby out. I literally have a small panic attack every time I think about it, which I really try not to think about it.

Answer

Me too.. I have 83 days left and I'm getting so scared.. like I have to get this baby out soonish.. eeeekkkk 😬

Answer

Omg biggest worry in the world!!  I can't even picture myself in the hospital. I have my hospital tour scheduled May 3rd and I'm due May 31st. Was the earliest I could get sonhopefully that will help me visualize everything cause right now I have nooooooo idea how I'm going to get through it. I hate pain, I hate being the center of attention, I know I'll be emotional as hell, hate stress.... it's all a recipe for disaster. I think I'll write up apology notes ahead of time for my family and the hospital staff cause I know I will be hating everyone and they will most likely hate me too. Lol. I know I'll be so happy to finally meet my little man and I try to focus on that butntjere are so many unknowns for me right now about how my labor will go you just can't fully prepare. Eeeeeecccckkk!!!!

Answer

I felt like that the first time I gave birth and feel it again this second time even though I know what's coming. By the time 40 weeks finally rolled around with my first, I didn't even care anymore I just wanted him out. By the time 42 weeks rolled around I would have done anything to have him out and after two days of labor and a c section I would still do it over again. Now I am doing it over again (the c section) and I'm panicky about it. I'm 28 weeks and keep telling myself that I'll be ready by 40 weeks again. Watch a lot of birth videos and c section videos (just in case). That oddly calmed me down lol we were made for this! You'll be okay mama!

Answer

Girl, me too! Everyone I talk to says the reward is greater than the pain and they'd do it over and over again in a heartbeat...I'm just hoping I feel the same way when it's all over 😂

Answer

I'm the same but I think for me I'm anxious to meet my baby! It's literally the best moment and feeling in the world when you see your baby for the first time! I can't wait! 😊

Answer

This is my second, and I'm more nervous this time than I was with my first! I think its because I do know what to expect, but my first labor was a nightmare and I'm hoping this one is easier.

Answer

I'm extremely nervous, scared, and anxious for the whole thing. Im terrified something will happen to me or baby, that I can't handle the pain, my epidural won't work..I have no idea what to expect. I can't even picture myself in a hospital birthing a child haha! I try to not think or worry about it because I know I still have some time (80 days to go!) but I could seriously have an anxiety attack when it comes to mind. Hubby and I have a birthing class in April, and a hospital tour so hoping that helps calm my nerves. Trying to stay positive and optimistic and realize it is all for an amazing end goal! 💙

Answer

Yes and no. I'm not scared of the giving birth part (at least at the moment), I'm more scared about being a mother of two and having a newborn again.

Answer

I'm absolutely petrified, I was my sisters birthing partner so I saw EVERYTHING so as a first time mom I don't even have ignorant bliss on my side I know exactly what to expect and it's just making me more and more nervous 😩

Answer

I recommend going to prenatal classes or reading Ina Mays guide to childbirth. Both have really helped ease my anxiety and see labour and delivery as an exciting experience instead of a scary one! Of course I'm still nervous but it's helped me calm down a bit :)
