thnx jenny. i know ill prob not get a c-section but hopefully someone will find out what petrifies me.. how has ur pg gone? you must be so exited with only 2 wks left?

Think its normal to be apprehensive, have you told your midwife the extent of your worries?. Don't think a c-section is the 'easier' option though. Usually have to have a medical/obstetric reason for a c-section on the nhs.

thnx for replying coccyx, asked my m/w twice for c-section but she said like you that i had no medical reson for it, dont like to keep on at her ill sound like a right duh.. my gp was more sympathetic, even over a phone consultaion she said she could hear the fear in my voice.. so that why she is willing to write a referal for me. (ps. being nosey but what part of llinc r u in? i used to live there with my hubby2b in gainsborough, i moved back to house hunt when i found out i was pg.)

lol dont think id say excited, shitting myself maybe lol! my pregnancy has gone okish lol im just a bad worrier so im always panicing. x

Don't think the midwife should dismiss your concerns. Maybe talking to consultant or hospital midwife would help. My sister has had vaginal and csections and said she would choose vaginal every time. Perhaps if you could pinpoint what it was you were so scared of it would help. I was more concerned about people seeing my lady parts in all their glory! As my midwife said its just hair and flesh down there and her main aim was to help me deliver safely . ( I live a few miles north of Bourne)

and i thought i had it bad lol... im always wondering whether what im doing or what im eating is ok (even though all my scans and tests have come back fine) and if i dont feel her move for a couple of hours im poking my belly to wake her (cruel mummy arent i !!)..are you having a natural birth then or are you going for the epidural route?

i give my bump a poke too if i dont feel her move lol my OH goes mad but i worry. x

im not blaming the m/w's who are at my antenatal coz their so understaffed and overworked but i havent had the best experience with them (well one of them is renound for being really abrupt but ive only seen her twice pheeew!!) and because this is my first i dont know how far to push ie. keep asking for a c-section, which is why i rang my gp who refered me to see a consultant, maybe he/she will be able to help me get to grips with this "phobia" i seem to have sprung... (never heard of where you are, is it nr leeds/sheffield way or more cleethorpie way?? X)

glad to know its not just me lol..my mum said she's going to come out and the first thing she is going to do is smack me one back...but i cant tell what are her sleeping patterns or her im just too bored to move patterns lol...and why does it hurt my pubic bone when she hiccups..thats a real baffler to me x

I don't think I would say I am terrified...I am scared for sure, but it has to get done.
I know it is gonna hurt like a bitch, but I cannot wait for the moment I hear the cry and hold my little one on my chest.
