terrified of delivery !!! :(

[sarahsetfire]

I am currently 34 weeks pregnant with a babygirl. everyday its closer & closer to ny due date. 42 days left & I am terrified of going into labor & delivering her. I know that women do it everyday but rgisbis my first & I am so scared. I'm scared of every thing that could go wrong & possibly having to get a c-section & I'm scared of just pushing her out in general. any advice or helpful words appreciated. cause this mama is terrified!

I know it seems scary but it really isn't that bad. I've delivered 4 b babies and I'm expecting a 5th. Honestly, I've had broken bones that hurt worse than delivery and I delivery naturally. The key is trying to relax through it and just letting your body do what it knows to do. Meditation and hypnobirthing are amazing tools that truly help. Stress and anxiety make it far worse.

Welcome mama were glad to help :) x

thank you all soon much! it seems that more often ladies wanna tell you their horror stories rather than be supportive and tell you its all worth it. I just know that pain is inevitable but its definitely worth it to finally meet my little girl and hold her kiss her and cuddle ger for the first time. thanks mamas!!

I'm also 34 weeks pregnant with my second, a babygirl too and I feel terrified now more than I did going into labor with my son. Maybe it's because I knoe firsthand what awaits me. Epidural was extremely helpful the first time around when I finally got it. Now I just wonder if I can get it sooner than I did the last time because the pain was unbearable. I reassure myself by saying I survived the first time, only 14 months ago and I'll definitely survive again. And so will you mama. Good luck!!

Thats funny cause im 34 weeks and i to have 42 days to go and i feel you pain im having a babygirl too. I always think about the possitive just having her in my arms would mean the world . So dont think about the pain itll come and go but she will always be there.

Just stay calm. Happy thoughts. This is my 2nd but I'm a little nervous.  But when they get here its all worth it.  I won't lie, it is painful.  But all worth everything you go through.  And there are pain medication that helps a lot. Just relax. It's the best thing for the baby

I'm a ftm too ,I'm terrified of child birth and c section. ... both sound painful nd hard nd I'm already full term 36 weeks nd 6 days so at this point I could have her at any time

[Claireexpectingbabynumber2]

I no it can be scary I just told my self it will be OK everything will be fine. But try not to think of it as scary and not to think of the bad things it will be a beautiful experience that you both will be overwhelmed by emotion with. Even if you have a favourite type of music you can listen to it in labour it can help.x

[sarahsetfire]

yes thank you very much! I definitely will try to stay my calmest when it comes time to go into labor I'm trying to stay calm as possible now. its just very scary. my boyfriend is very helpful and supportive so I have a great support system. it just very overwhelming the first time

[Claireexpectingbabynumber2]

Try to stay calm and relaxed when it comes to the time to go into the hospital to have her I no it nerve boggling to not to but it really is the best thing to do as a stressed moma and baby is not good. The midwife's and doctor will always offer you advice on what pain relief to get if you can't cope. I got the epi with my first a little boy because I couldn't cope with the pain but once I got it I was grand and when it came to pushing I pushed him out just keep thinking at the end of this I'll have my beautiful little girl in my arms. Just focus on that every pain you get is one step closer to meeting her. I'm also 34 weeks with a girl and I'll be 35 in a days time. I also think how this one will be deliver wise but I no if I can't cope I've the support from my partner and midwife to get me through it hope this helps x
