Hi guys i'm 16 years old, I will be 6 months pregnant this wednesday and as my delivery date gets closer I become more scared, any other soon to be mothers nervous for their labor experience?

[Raisin1694]

Here's a way to put it when I first started getting contractions I could stop pooping:p And it felt like bad diarrhea cramps and i mean real bad, that was only the start. I thought it was just because I was nervous and thinking about it and couldn't sleep but then I got a wierd pain that felt like it was radiating up my spine and I knew it was time. I had all my labour in my back it was really bad but everyone experiences it differently. I recommend if any one has gbs like I did I would go to the hospital and the first signs of labour, I waited at home I wanted to as long as possible and because I did and my labour went so fast they didn't have the time to get te full dose of antibiotics in me so my daughter had to be in the nicu for 2 weeks.

Haha I thought that also, everyone is different and labour progresses differently for everyone. Mine was every fast and I have a very high tolerance for pain, it's not easy and it is worse than anyone expects it to be you really don't know what your in fr until it happens:p but the good thig to remember is its a day of your life at the most in pain:p then you get to meet your beautiful baby:)

Im not terrified or scared for labor due to.. My son has to come put either way. I'm going all natural and its my fault for getting pregnant at 16 so why be scared about something that us women were made to do.. Lol that's just my opinion but I don't think it will hurt as bad as people say especially since people are different and can handle pain differently. :)

I am also a teen mom, 19 my daughters 3 months. And I was terrified for labour but was determined to do it all natural and did, I was very blessed with a short labour 2 hours at home an 3 at the hospital. The pain is the worst pain you will ever feel I mean nothing can compare to it but as soon as your baby's here it's all gone and its kind of like a high feeling after, plus being exausted. I just remember being in such awe I couldn't believe it. I wanted to sleep so bad but couldn't because my lady parts :p hah swelled up so bad I couldn't pee or even sit, it was because I had only pushed for maybe 10 mins at the most. It was crazy I kind of wish I got someone to video tape my labour and delivery, I thought I wouldn't want that or even pictures because its just so unbelievable. I did get pictures and if I didn't I wouldn't believe I even did it:p The best to all of you ladies, just have faith:) I couldn't have done it without Jesus all my strength and faith was in him. I was praising God and just asking him for a fast labour from the start to en of labour; without him I couldn't have done it! God bless you all and if anyone has any questions you can send me a personal message:)

I am BEYOND scared,scared about the pain and overall what kind life I will give my child I'm scared out of my mind

[princessjessy]

Wow, well god bless you very much! You will be in my prayers and thanks to every other lady posting reliving comments hopefully my daughter comes out fine (:

I'm scared too. I don't know what to expect I'm also extremely worried that I won't make it to the hospital.  I have a high risk pregnancy and have to deliver at Westchester medical which is an hour away from me. I'm so scared!! I can't deliver anywhere else BC I have a blood disorder and I bleed way too much and need meds to stop it.. and the infusion I need and the specialized blood work can only be done there.

I went through most of the labor and delivery without an epidural. But I had to get it because my daughters heart rate was dropping. I didn't think the pain was too bad, you'll do fine. :)

[princessjessy]

My respects to those of you delivering without epidural,
When my mom asked me if I was getting it I quickly said
yup give me a whole lot of that hahaha. Im having a little girl too :)

[jessileanne]

Im terrified sometimes, but trist that my body will do what it needs to. More than anything im just scared something will go wrong.

Good luck!

[briannalove]

Im also 16, and I'm 37+5 i think I'm nervous of pain and much more

[rasberryxtreme]

Extremely!! I have no choice but to do it natural because of the medications I'm allergic too. I'm doing a water birth since I figure that's my best bet, but I'm super nervous about all of it! I know they say your instincts will kick in but until that happens I feel like I'm going at this blind.

I think every women is scared about labor. If not I know I am. This is my first and I have no idea what to expect. But I am ready to meet My little princess.
