Anxiety about birth 😫😔

Alyssa

Am I the only one having extreme anxiety about birth? I swear I can feel myself dilating and I know I was 2cm 50% effaced the other day and I cannot wait to have my son bc I am in so much pain. I have SPD And I can barely move anymore, barley walk without my pelvis and back giving out so trust me when I say I am ready.... but as a FTM I am kind of freaking out a lot. I’m so scared to have a serious panic attack... tell me I’m not alone

This is my fourth and I still feel anxiety about it! I think it’s really normal to feel anxious about labor and birth because we just never know how it’s going to go. It’s freaky to not be able to plan a major life event you know? So you aren’t alone at all!

Your not alone I'm like I have 4 days until baby come and this is my first. I'm so scared because I don't know what going to happen I usually go into things prepared but I know you can't prepare when a baby going to come. My mind has been racing for the last ten days because I'm overwhelmed and scared.

At least I’m not alone but I’m sorry you feel this way too. It sucks!! I’m very prepared always too and not knowing what will happen is like my worst nightmare :(( I’m scared of the pain, not knowing what to expect, and the epidural 😔😫 needles are NOT my thing at all... Hang in there mama! I know it will be worth it when we’re holding our babies 💙💕 just have to get through these next few days

Breath and trust that your body knows what to do.

Awh mama I’m sorry! It’s the worst isn’t it? Just not knowing what to expect? It’s terrifying. I’m such a planner and like to have control so the not knowing... is killing me!! I know we got this!! Hang in there!
