Second child and nervous about labor
I feel kind of silly that I'm so nervous and honestly a little scared of going into labor and giving birth since this is my second child. I had that whole "been there, done that" mentality throughout my entire pregnancy, but now as it's getting closer and closer to the end (I'm due Sept 29th) I'm getting nervous. This pregnancy has been nothing like my first one, I've lost weight instead of gaining it, have been dehydrated despite my best efforts and highly anaemic. I'm nervous about the pain from contractions and actual labor and that I won't be able to handle it, even with an epidural, I'm nervous about the possibility of having to have a c section (my fiance's first child's mother had to have one due to how big his son was and so far baby girl has been measuring bigger than average, so there is a chance I may need one too. My son was born naturally.) Overall, I'm nervous and scared about the whole thing and I feel like that's irrational because this is my second pregnancy. Anyone else feel like this?
