scared maybe??

I am a FTM...40wks3d...POST TERM...I'm due to have an induction with baby girl on Friday August 8th...IM SCARED AS HECK!! As much as I want her out...I'm afraid!! I was sooooo anxious at first, I still am but now...not knowing what to expect (well I kno, but I don't kno) is weighing more on me!! Sheeesh...I'm like I'd rather just have a c-section...but not really...it jus seems that vaginally I might chicken out...lol
No I'm gonna do my best to push because I kno its safer for her & I. I'll just pray that I get thru it...❤
I jus hope the pain meds kick in and I have a smooth and safe delivery...

You will be just fine. If you feel yourself losing control just call on Jesus to strengthen you to do what needs to be done. I pray you have a blessed delivery.

I go for my induction (second time around for induction) tomorrow morning....my first one I was like let's do this....but I know how you feel even with having an induction under my belt I'm still freaking out inside!


With my first I got pain meds right away just to ease my mind (I wasn't against it at all so it made the choice to get it that much easier) I had the most relaxing labor ever....was not stressed or anything. ...I guess I'm freaking because I wanna have that way again this time around but this while pregnancy has been hard so it does put a lot of fears in place!

Don't be ashamed if you have to do the pain meds....in the end you just need to do what would be best for you and baby and if it's getting the meds so be it!

Like the other mommies said....it's all worth it in the end once you see and hold the baby for the first time!

Aw you will be just fine! Just think it will all be worth it and nothing else will matter once you have your baby in your arms! As I get closer I'm starting to freak out about possibly having to get a csection (idk the thought of getting cut open whike awake scares the crap out of me) but I keep telling myself whatever happens is meant to be and it will all be worth it in the end. :) best wishes

You are very welcome. I absolutely love this app and although I'm no longer expecting, I still enjoy coming on here and helping as much as I can and, of course, reading the birthing stories. I adore reminiscing about my pregnancy, my delivery, and all in-between. Live up these last few days of yours; cherish the kicks, hiccups and movements inside. I can't describe to you the feeling of having your baby here- it is truly a love you never thought you could experience. It's a place in your heart that no one will ever be able to touch. God is truly amazing!!

Stay strong.  A natural birth can transform you into a new women.  It is one of the most amazing experiences.  U will most likely need pain meds w induction, but the minute u hold ur daughter it all disappears.  Have faith in yourself mama.  Women have been doing this since the beginning :)

You will and we are speaking that into existence! I delivered our son almost 4 weeks ago and I was induced (due to medical reasons). I was going through all kinds of emotions and just knew I was going to pee all over myself because I would be so scared. But, the big day came and the tears started flowing and so many questions ran thru my mind. Time was getting closer and the fear started to disappear and excitement and anxiousness were introduced. I was so ready I was even frustrated when they told me they may not have a bed for me on my induction date due to so many women going into labor. Luckily, they got me in that night and just a few hours past schedule. What helped me get through it was prayer and Gospel music! So, find whatever works for you and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Remember every possible detail about that special moment because before you know it your little one will be a month old and you're wondering where did the time go?! Good luck and hope you have a safe labor and especially delivery!!
