40 days!

I officially have 40 days left before I get to meet my son I feel so blessed to have come this far and I can't wait to hold him I love him so much unfortunately I am super frightened of giving birth I can't get the thought out of my mind I keep asking myself am I going to be able to do it how bad is it going to hurt is it going to be okay I'm driving myself crazy!.FTM

not to mention I'm worried constantly if I'm going to go into labor when I'm not around the area I'm still working and its pretty far from my house

how are you ladies feeling anybody have 40 days left?

I am having my second child my son as well i have 42 days left and i am scared again but my first went well. Tbh my sister scared the crap out of me and i was terrified but it isnt that bad i rather enjoyed it and when u see your baby for the first time all those worries and bad memories fly out the door. You will be soo in love and amazed that u wont remember any pain ... good luck !!!

My first pregnancy o heard loads of horror stories about labour. Just go in nice and relaxed and open minded. Each and every pregnancy and labour abd differwnt. Honestly. I know easier said than done but being relaxed made it easier for me. As my midwife said 'only person who could talk, laugh and smile through it all' one actually came into my room for a rest and chat.

Im a first time mom and just had my son on 9/20. I had felt the same way, i was terrified of labor since i hear horror stories of csections, tearing, and of course the pain. To be honest, my labor went well and i feel like i can do it all over again. Contractions are unique to every individual but you can do it!
