Who’s terrified for labour?

Question

Answer

I replied “not really” but this is my second so I will disclaim that for my first I was absolutely terrified!!!!! The unknown was difficult for me and I had no idea how it would go or what to expect. I even randomly broke down crying I was so scared when contractions started getting bad. One of the nurses had to give me a pep talk lol. But even with some of the complications we faced, I knew and even said immediately after that I could do it again. For all you ladies scared, I promise YOU CAN DO IT!! your bodies are capable and stronger than you know! Xo

Answer

This is my first, and I'm strangely calm and have zero fear of labor! I'm not afraid of the pain, and plan to do a natural birth (if my body allows). A few friends of mine think I'm delusional or that I don't have a clear understanding of what I'm about to go through... and I DO know. I am well aware. But I'm not worried in the least about the pain. Hope all goes well and me and baby are safe. But I'm feeling easy-breezy over here, which is odd i guess. I'm almost 32 weeks. 🤷‍♀️ maybe this will change. But I have auch a great support team (midwives and doulas, along with my husband) and we have been preparing and chatting about all possibilities so I feel educated and equipped to handle anything thrown my way! 💪💪

Answer

I’m not scared of the pain, I’m scared of me dying or him dying. 
With my first I wasn’t scared at all but I don’t wanna leave my babies without a mom, and I miscarried at 16 weeks with my last pregnancy so I know I can’t handle losing another baby.

Answer

Answer

I’m a FTM and for whatever reason I’m not scared at all about any of it. The only thing I’m “scared” of is how horrible my vagina is gonna feel the day after🤣 i dont know why but I just feel like it’s going to go pretty good.

Answer

I’m not scared of labour but I’m planning a home birth and, of course, that comes with its own anxieties. It’s my first time.

Answer

This is my third baby and I answered hell yes...I'm not scared of giving birth because I've done it before; I'm scared because my second baby ended up coming via emergency c-section. So I'm trying for a VBAC this time, I know it might not be successful and that's what I'm scared of.
