Anyone else terrified of labor and your new mommy life?

Question

29 weeks pregnant
Im 20 years old, the father is about to be 24. I am extremely excited about my baby boy of course. However, I’m also terrified of whats to come. I just wonder what it will be like to be a mother and i want to do everything right. I have a lot of things planned this year and so much is happening. 2020 is going to be a huge year for me. I don’t know what to think! Everything is happening so fast! I just want to have everything prepared and have already started my list of things to do before the baby arrives. And i dont want to get started on how i feel about giving birth and my fears 😩
Just a little rant from a firs time mama. Anyone else feel this way??
11 more weeks to go until i meet my little miracle❤️

Answer

I don't think age has anything to do with it.  I just turned 35 years old last week and I'm terrified of the whole labor, pregnancy,  being a mom thing (I'll be 30 weeks in 2 days).   My husband is 26 yrs old and he is completely cool, secured, excited,  and not worried about a thing.   He is more ready than I am.  It makes me mad that he is not even worry a little.

Answer

I'm 30 weeks 3 days, on my 3rd child but still terrified. I had my last baby 7 years ago. I'm afraid I remember how to take care of a baby even though it came naturally with my other 2...

Answer

I'm 28 weeks pregnant and I'm 21 my husband is 23 I'm not really that worried about labour, it scares me more knowing I'm going to have a little one who will dout on me forever and I will be responsible for them, I can not wait though!!!  just such a scary thought   I've been so calm so far but I think it will hit me when it happens in a few weeks time 🙈🥰😊❤

Answer

Im 24 and husband is 22 years old. We are expecting our second child. Im so terrified for labor. With my daughter I never got to experience labor. I had a C section immediately. Was supposed to be a planned C section due to her being breech. My water broke after being at the hospital an hour had my C section. Trying for a VBAC with baby boy. So scared to experience labor and delivery this time. My kids will be 3.5 years apart.

Answer

Omg yes, youtube birthing videos are no help either!!!

Answer

I’m 29 weeks with my second! I wasn’t scared with my first and I’m not scared with this one either! 
Word of advice for all you new mommy’s to be! There is always going to be someone that tells you something that you are doing is wrong.. YOU know your baby best! YOU know what is best for your baby, being a new mommy is a learning curve and you will figure out what works for you! 
I went into labour with my daughter prepared for anything to happen as long as it brought her into the world healthy and safely, if you deliver vaginally or via c section your baby will enter the world, your body didn’t fail you, it just did it another way but your baby is here regardless!! If you choose to nurse or use formula both are great choices! It’s even okay to nurse and supplement with formula! No matter how you choose to do it remember fed is best! Don’t let people make you feel guilty for your choices as a mom! And remember taking care of you is just as important, You need to be in the right mind space and happy and healthy too!
Good luck to all you first time mommas, and mommas of other kiddos I’m sure you will all do amazing and be the best mom for your new baby!! ♥️

I feel the same way I talked to my doctor about how I’ve been feeling super anxious about the labor and delivery because it’s been consuming my mind a lot lately and she suggested a birthing class but there 130$ for the class 😭😭😭 and it’s not like I really have a choice but to go threw it but before I just felt like I had so much time left so I wasn’t worried but I’ll be 30 weeks on Saturday and now I’m just like 😩😩😩😩 how am I gonna deal with this pain and delivery

Answer

It’s ok my 5 kid and I’m still a lil afraid I understand but try an think about the joy of the gift rather than the labor it help me

Answer

The closer I get the more real it becomes! I’m 27 weeks and also 20 years old!! My husband is 21 and we’re first time parents. I’m scared of pp stuff. How long it’ll take to heal, what my body will look like, how I’ll deal with breast feeding and pumping, etc. also nervous about development for my little one. Like how will he do with talking and walking and all of the milestones? I’m not TOO scared of labor but pretty scared of delivery! Hoping I’ll have an easy and fast delivery! Lol AND I’m scared about telling people to not visit in the hospital. My husband and I decided we want just our parents and siblings to visit us in the hospital... I know it’ll upset people but it’s only two days. They can see us at home
