Scared* But *Excited

[syddie50]

The more I think about labor the more I get scared. I know there's no point in being scared, women have been doing it for years upon years. But just the talk about ripping and the thought of the pain I'll be in....and I don't want to scream something rude at someone while I'm in pain...Cause my husband's family is so touchy it's ridiculous...it'll haunt me for YEARS if I say something mean to them...even though we're the youngest of all his siblings to have a child so they understand what it's like (Sorry for the rant lol). I dunno I am 14 Weeks and 7 days I'll be 15 in a few and every day gets closer to my fear of it :/. Understanding it'll all be worth it in the end...but it won't be the end while I'm wailing in pain lol....I have decided to do no epidural just pain meds like the IV bag. I've heard bad things about epidural more than once even from my mother. But, from what I understand it's like however your mother's labor was that's what yours will probably be right? My mom's was quick with all of us. Had each of us within an hour of getting to the hospital.  So I don't know....Ugh XD

I can't wait to hold my baby. (: maybe it will come naturally some times I get this deep down feeling like I CAN DO THIS! then I get nervous again, maybe it's the pesky hormones XP

The hospital only allows a certain amount of people in the room while you're giving birth, besides when you're in labor you won't be worrying about anyone else's feelings but your own, I remember my dad pissing me off so I told him to leave until my son was done being born lol. Anyways just focus on taking deep slow breaths and remember that the pain is only temporary, the more painful it gets the closer you are to having your LO in your arms

So far just seeing on this app and my one other how baby has grown within the few weeks is so amazing and beautiful! I keep hearing it'll come naturally but I'm scared I'll be the only girl on earth that it won't come naturally for :P
And girl you have NO idea haha she is really really trying to dictate me and my pregnancy and baby. She is trying to convince me to not breastfeed because she couldn't so she thinks Noone can -_- ugh.

[Staceyyyyy91314]

Ugh omg, she sounds really annoying. Its YOUR baby, not hers!!! No offense, but I would tell her to eff off lol. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable, mama!!
And yes, birthing classes definitely worth it, definitely made me feel relieved knowing what my body has to do, It's all amazing what the body does to bring a human into this world and it all comes natural! :)

[syddie50]

Actually a birthing class sounds really good I just live in the middle of no where lol I'd probably have to like an hour out of my way but it'd be worth it.

[syddie50]

You don't think they'd make a big scene do you?  Like maybe they could tell that only certain people can be in there ...or a certain amount of people? I don't want to make them lie for me but oh my gosh if I were to say something rude like for real hell would break loose out side the hospital it would be bad...like she's already mad cause I told her straight up I only want my husband and mother in the room...she told me at the beginning of my pregnancy you should really think about letting me in the room  when uour in labor...and I said no so now she's having a tantrum -_-

[Staceyyyyy91314]

No, sweetheart. No one can force that. Screw her, that is absolutely ALL YOUR DECISION who is in there with you. And they can suck it up because they can't judge you while you're going through so much pain, don't you dare apologize to them, it's not your fault!! As for the pain worries, take a birthing class and do research, the more you know, the more comfortable you might be knowing what's going on with your body and how normal it actually is. Good luck :)

They will take care of it meaning they will say they are not allowed in your room, you don't have to say anything directly to her if you feel like it will cause drama.

[alexx1216]

Tell your doctor or nurses & they will take care of it. I wouldn't care how her or her husband feels lol it's not their baby being delivered.

[syddie50]

Well we know we don't want them in the room he REALLY doesn't want them in there just like I said we can't say anything mean cause he works with her husband. ...

You fear what you don't know. So research labor and relaxation techniques. Understand what exactly your body will be going through and how you can control it.

Also, try talking to your bf's family about your concerns. And keep in mind that you don't have to have them in labor and delivery with you... Just your bf or mom.

[syddie50]

Well the thing is I don't want them in the room but knowing his sister it will be forced...h*ll I don't want her of all his family and her husband within a 1,000 feet of me when I have this child but I'm too nice because if I say something to her or anything mean her husband will release hell upon my husband at work. They work together unfortunately. ...-_- but any who aside from that I'm trying to stay positive it's just scary lol!

[alexx1216]

Then don't have his family in the room with you. & no I believe it's not supposed to be like your mothers cause everyone's body & pregnancy is different I believe that's just an old wives tale, but I could be wrong. But everything will be okay, just stay positive & think about the outcome :) Goodluck !
