Terrified

J. • 👼🏻🌈👶🏻

I’ve started getting super anxious and terrified about labor and the pain? Just had my OB appointment and I’m 3cms dilated due Sunday.. he did a sweep and figures it’ll be any day now but induction scheduled for March 10 just in case

Trying to stay calm about it so I don’t make it harder on myself by being stressed and tense

Well, I had the worst BH last night and pelvic pain and as it continued through the night I got scared that real labor is gonna be absolutely awful if I feel tested now 😂I took a deep breath and reminded myself, that when it does happen I need to remember I get to meet my baby. Remember the goal!When you find yourself starting to panic it's important to take deep breaths and have something positive to repeat to yourself.You got this!

Don’t be worried about accepting pain relief when offered to you 😊 you may be absolutely fine as every labour is different...but if you need it then don’t hesitate to take it! You want this experience to be as ‘calm’ as it can be for you and baby. So try not to stress too much as hard as that is xxx

It’s so easy to say but try not to stress about it. It’s obviously painful I’m not going to lie but at the time you’re just focused on getting baby out. Make sure you’re aware of pain relief that’s available and have a think in advance of what you think you’d like to use. If it’s any consolation I had a horrible labour/birth first time around and I’m not worried about the pain this time 😊 you can do it!!
