Scared to give birth again?

Question

Is there anyone who’s already had kids and is scared to give birth again??? If so why?

Answer

I’ve not long had my first baby (3 weeks) and despite it being a difficult birth I’d do it again in a heartbeat and don’t feel scared at the prospect of having a baby in the future. 
Having a good mindset goes a long way though, I think knowing it’s a short term pain for a long term gain makes it easier to get through it 🥰

Answer

Yes I am. It's been 7 ears since my last birth but this pregnancy has made me so unwell that I don't feel like I have the physical or mental strength to put up with the pain for long this time. I'm desperate to get my body back and to stop vomiting every day though

Answer

I have  four children 19, 17, 14, 11 and baby boy coming soon. It would be a lie if I said I'm not scared "of the pain" because I am. All four of  my children were natural births (no type of pain medication). But guess what!!!!!! I am so looking forward to holding my baby boy.... So fear of labor will always take a back sit to the love and joy I felt/will feel when I seen/see those/that beautiful face(s).

Answer

Yes, the closer it gets I get more anxious and nervous. I had an induction with my first at 41 weeks and it was rough, I was in labor for 30 hours and pushed for about 3 before ending up in a csection where I had to be put under general anesthesia. I’m hoping for a vbac this time but my sister just had her first and her labor was VERY similar to mine, she ended up being able to deliver but had some complications. Now I’m torn if I actually hope the baby comes on their own for a vbac or hope they wait until schedules csection date.

Answer

yes, just had my baby october 17th. Im still not okay with how my birth went. ended in emergency c section & i was put to sleep after seeing my baby for brief second which i still hardly remember that. Im nervous ill have to have another c section

Answer

I'm not scared I am very excited. I have experience the spectrum my first delivery was amazing my second was traumatic. I hope my third is amazing or just an in between normal and amazing.. I got to experience the contractions with my second and they weren't as bad as they were the first time around. But they stopped my labor and I sat for a week and I ended up with an emergency c section.

Answer

I think it will always make me nervous. Is almost scarier already having 1 because I'll need to get someone to take care of him. We have plenty of family in the area, but my son came quicky and #2 is expected to be faster. With him I couldn't keep any food down once my contractions started so he'll need to be taken quickly once labor begins. We also are planning a home birth (successful with him) but if something goes wrong transferring to the hospital makes me nervous, as would a c-section recovery with an 18mo
