Can you be bad at giving birth?

Question

Hello! FTM almost 27 weeks. My anxiety is starting to transition from pregnancy anxiety to giving birth anxiety. What if I can’t handle it? What if my body doesn’t do what it’s supposed to? All the unknowns of what to come are so scary and I hope I don’t sound crazy with these worries. Any reassurance and kindness is appreciated ❤️

Answer

I was TERRIFIED and in the moment all of my fear disappeared and i just did what they told me to do.

Answer

You’ll be amazed at what your body does, regardless of whether you deliver vaginally or via c-section. Try not to stress. Just follow the advice abd direction of the nurses (they’re the real super heroes in labor and delivery), listen to your gut instincts, and trust that the medical staff are there to ensure you have a successful delivery. The best thing you can do for yourself is to go in feeling relaxed and confident that you’ll soon be on the other side of a successful delivery abd holding your beautiful baby in your arms. ♥️ YOU GOT THIS!

Answer

I listened to rainbow relaxation every night before bed. And I also listened to Positive birth stories ALL the time on youtube while I was in the car or at the gym etc. I did my best to set a positive reference for my mind and my labor and delivery were relatively easy. No pain meds, no tears, no complications and 20 minutes of pushing.

Answer

Hire a doula 💜

Answer

I was the opposite and just thought, my body is made for this, it’ll know what to do.
I had no idea what to do but the nurses told me exactly how to push and that baby popped out in less than 5 minutes.

Answer

You’ll be fine. The nursing will instruct you and help you along the way. Taking a birth class will help. I don’t know if there are in person ones where you are but there are plenty of online resources.
