Anybody else starting to get nervous about giving birth?

Question

It's weird bc I was totally fine with the idea of giving birth before I was pregnant up until now. Now all of a sudden I am kind of freaking out about it! I actually have to give birth and push her out! I wasn't nervous before and now I am! I am getting scared and nervous and I wish I could just see into the future and know how labor and delivery goes 😔

Answer

Was fine till a couple weeks ago and then it hit me. 4 months and i will actually have to deal with labour. Been trying to learn more about how different woman deal with it cause id really like to avoid an epidural if i can.

Answer

I watched a video of a woman giving birth while her husband was driving and now I'm completely scared crapless. But happy were being induced.

Answer

I have been terrified since I found out I was pregnant.  I'm okay with the recovery part, that does t scare me.  I'm even okay with the contractions, they are going to hurt and I'm okay with that.  That part that really terrifies me is the baby actually coming out.  I know everything stretches but it doesn't seem possible to me.  It seems like that is going to be the worst part!  First time mama here so I have no idea what to expect.

Answer

I am so like this.. I'm really nervous! Especially it being the first time, and I have no idea what to expect! The nerves have just hit me in the past few weeks!

Answer

I'm the same way I wasn't nervous or scared in the beginning now I'm extremely afraid

Answer

But as far as pushing and laboring...as long as he's face down, I'm golden!

My first was a sunny side up baby and it was a ridiculously hard labor....she got stuck and I had to push for 1 hour just to get her unlodged....she was only 7.8 lbs...

My others were cake. 8lbs 3oz and 7 lbs 8.8 oz. They were both in the ideal face down position.

You shouldn't be afraid. When the time comes, it'll come naturally and you'll do perfectly!

Answer

I'm more nervous the weather will be bad in March and my husband will have to deliver me 😳 on the side of the road or something crazy. I have accepted that birth will be painful but why dwell on it? Baby has to get here one way or another. I have placenta previa now so if it doesn't move I'm having a c-section, but I pray I can have a vaginal birth.

Answer

This will be my first birth and it actually hit me today how unfathomabley scared I am haha. I'm quite petite and the logistics of birth just don't make sense to me. I'm definitely afraid of tearing but I'm mortified of having to continously push this human being out of my, especially if she gets stuck. I would prefer a c-section but I'm afraid of the recovery and I'm afraid of the risks associated with it. However, my biggest fear is dying in childbirth, might seem a little irrational to some, but these days it's actually more common than it was 20 years ago and that seriously freaks me out; but I'm also known for being overly b paranoid about EVERYTHING.

Answer

I'm terrified! I'm determined to go the natural route. But when I see the size of him at only 6 months (he's as big as a freaking coconut already!), I freak out. I know it stretches, but my vagina is incredibly small. Sorry for the tmi, but I mean my husband barely fits up there, so how am I gonna push a baby out of it???

Answer

I've been terrified of birth since before I got pregnant hahaha so yes, same boat as you mama :) we'll all get thru it!!
