Anyone else feel more nervous and scared as each pregnancy goes on? I feel more anxious about labour and birth this time round, even though I’ve done it twice before!

Question

pregnancy goes on? I feel more anxious about labour and birth this time round, even though I’ve done it twice before!" /> 
I’m so scared! I feel like BECAUSE I know what I’m doing, it’s making it more frightening. 
Also this is my 3rd baby and all I’ve heard is negative 3rd baby labour stories. 😭
Apparently they’re the longest, most painful etc. 
I know birth has to happen so I’m trying not to think about it too much as no amount of thinking can change it - but it is ALL I THINK ABOUT. 😫

Answer

People love the Pain Olympics, everyone loves to tell their gruesome stories. I have a firm rule for positive stories only - I know bad things or emergencies can happen, but it doesn’t help anyone to be told how painful or terrible or whatever someone else’s delivery was, especially because it’s not like we can back out of childbirth! Find some moms with positive stories or those that support you, it will hopefully turn your fears around.

Answer

I stressed my whole first pregnancy and it didn't make a of difference, so just relax and enjoy your pregnancy mama. I'll be praying for a smooth and easy labor and delivery for you! 💙💙💙💙
FYI, reason why I say that is because I ended up having to have a c-section.

Answer

I’m pregnant with my third too and I’m freaked out but I’ve heard a lot of really beautiful third baby stories, so I’m feeling optimistic even though I’m still scared. How were your other births?
