Not really hun as there has to be a medical reason as to why you would need a c-section

thanks for the post in my journal hun, can u believe how rude the m/w's have been?? :O maybe thats where my fear has come from, lack of support..what do you think?

For those of you who are scared of giving birth, I really recommend Hypnobirthing. I used it with my second child and the experience was totally different from the first birth. Just try to google hypnobirthing and read the birth stories, you´ll see they're quite different from the ordinary birth stories you read

cheers phexia will google it and have a nose sometime during the night (sleep is a something i apparently "used" to do lol) dont know its available nr me im in rural wales uk but ill see what i can find X

I couldn't attend a class since there's no instructor in Iceland, but I read the book and practiced relaxation with the CD. That helped me sleep too

awwww thnx for that info, i will def read up on it as i dont want a c-section any more than natural birth ( its just natural keeps freaking me out more for some reason?)... if i try it i just hope it kicks in in time i only have 2.5 weeks left <gulp>...

I am really scared about giving birth, i don't feel like i have enough support from any midwives i have met and don't really know who i should talk to about it... i am one of those ridiculously squeemish people, but the idea of a C-section scares me even more...ahhh someone comfort me lol x

hey shmuv, know exactely how your feeling, and the women on here are just fab if you need to talk about it rant or cry.. they're very understanding and have been offering lovely messages of support... how far into your pregnancy are you?

1 thing hun, private midwife lol.. expensive but at least they treat you with respect

It's normal to be scared but hey sooooo many women did it before you so why can't you? I think a great deal f it has to do with your mental preparation too. If you are calm and relaxed then you won't go into the panic-pain cycle. The more u tense up, the more it will hurt from what I understand....so if you have some time...try to become more comfortable with the idea of labour..PL us it's all worth it right
