Not scared?

Question

I'm a FTM due in 2 weeks. I am not scared. I don't think it hit me? I am going to have a baby any time and i just don't feel like it. Anyone else feel the same?

Answer

I wasn't scared with my first, but to be honest, I think that was naivety on my part. I definitely underestimated the pain-- maybe because I watch too much TV and i had a Hollywood scenario in my mind. 4th birth coming up and I'm not scared, but I'm nervous...I do vaginally, med-free, and that is my choice, but let's just say they don't call it "the ring of fire" for nothing 😩

Answer

I do feel somewhat scared if I sit and think about it but honestly otherwise it still doesn't feel like at any moment I will be giving birth (which is totally going on right now....haha). I am a FTM as well and sometimes I wonder how I am being so mellow and calm about everything. So, besides my moments of overthinking things, I totally get where you're coming from. Maybe since we don't know what to expect at all being FTMs it makes it feel this way? Hope you are doing well.

Answer

I wasn't scared at all with my first, and I had a natural birth. Some women just don't fear childbirth. This time around I am terrified, but my baby has some health problems, will be born early and I have to have a csection. So different factors in play with this one are causing me to freak out. Good luck:) and if you do get scared when you go into have your baby, just remember you're safe, doctors know what they're doing, you have tons of nurses to help, and most importantly you can do it!

Answer

I feel the same way. I'm taking it as a premonition that my baby girl is going to come late and that I should be bask in the feeling of not being antsy.

Answer

I'm a FTM and I've done about all the prepping I can do, I have full confidence in my midwife, love my doula, and my hubby is ready. I'm not scared at this point, just a scored to meet my little one. We are doing a non medicated birth center birth, and I couldn't be more ready!

Answer

It actually kind of hit me the other day when I went on a tour of the birthing center I'll be delivering at. Like whoa! I'll be here in another 1-1.5 months..

Answer

Not scared, just really really excited! Also looking forward to finally starting my leave at 37 weeks :) 
Ina May's Guide to Childbirth book helped big time... Reading all those positive birthing stories counteracted any negative ones I came across.

Answer

I'm so ready for labor. The only part im not ready for is the baby but I just don't ever get scared about it unless I think about it. But other than that I forget my bump and baby is even attached to me. I've bumped it with plenty of doors and counters and I think the little one can agree on that 😂.
