Labor Anxiety Rant

Cearra

This is my third pregnancy so I'm actually not really worried about the labor itself. I'm actually excited and ready for labor because I can't wait to meet my first little girl and my last child.

My only concerns are possible c-section and the use of forceps. My first two deliveries were vaginal (with epidural). First one lasted 8 hours, second was about 6 hours.

I'm just worried she won't be in position or something happens to make a c-section necessary. I've read so much and watched videos of them performed and I think what worries me most is the healing process or how bad the pressure of the procedure is.

The possibility of using forceps scares me mainly because I've seen post forcep pictures of the babies in worst case scenarios (by total accident, I suggest NOT googling "forcep birth).

Those are my main two concerns, other than not making it to the hospital in time for an epidural lol.
