Ach i'm petrified of labour but I just think, heck i've got 24 weeks to worry, i'll think about it later. Not the best solution but it works for now x

I have these days too but now ive come to the conclusion that its going to happen, our bodies were made to do this. Like the ladies in my family keep saying " If it was that bad we wouldnt keep having more" and most in my family have 4 or 5 each. What im trying to do is get as clued up about the labour as I can so I at least have some idea of whats going to happen. I keep telling myself one day of pain is worth it when you see your little ones face. Dont worry to much about it.
Take care

i'm terrified absolutely terrified!!
cant begin to imagine how i'm going to cope. i cant hadle period pains!
i guess your maternal instinct kicks in and you just deal with it.
Ha ha just read what i'd written back to myself and thought why am I trying to convince someone else it'll be ok when i'm so scared myself.
oh well when you've still got 9 weeks to go you'll be able to read my birth story knowing i was just as scared as you!! xxx

As above!! I am petrified, but hey, people have been doing it for thousands of years and they've coped! I just think that if I start worrying about it now, then I'll be in a right state in another 20 weeks! Just try and enjoy the here and now and have a happy pregnancy!!!

Its natural to worry about it! But honestly once ur going through it, it just flys and when u look back on the experience it makes it quite exciting!! Try not to dwell on it and enjoy the rest of ur pregnancy! xx

Don't worry sweetie - we all feel the same way. Preparation is best to combat fear- knowledge is power. Educate yourself on your experience, talk to women who have been through it. I guarantee they will nearly all say they've forgotten about the pain. So how bad can it be when you put it in perspective? xoxo
