Anxiety over delivery
I’m 28 weeks pregnant and the further along I get, the more anxious and emotional I get about delivery. I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about delivery and just cry because I’m so scared. Not every night but its becoming more frequent. I never got help from a counselor like I should have last time. I’m trying to ask as many questions as possible to know what to expect whether I have a VBAC (which is what I really want) or a scheduled c-section (which I may need to have my OB says, she’s kind of pushing it - I’ll list reasons below). This is most likely our last pregnancy and I want to be excited to meet baby but i have so much fear about the 39th week (when things started going bad last time) and delivery. Has anyone else dealt with this? What did you do to help? Or even what. Did you do to just get through it all
Reasons why my OB says I have higher chances of needing a scheduled c-section:
- I had a c section last time, she won’t induce with a prior c section due to uterine rupture chances
- I have a long cervix
- baby has a two vessel cord
- it’s unknown what my pelvis structure is like and if baby will be able to fit through
- scheduled c section takes away the unknown of a repeat emergency c section
