I'm scared and excited. I know I can do it, but my poor DH will be so worried, and I don't like to see him worried about me. But I need him there with me for support. I'm sure it will all work out in the end
Everyone thinks I'm crazy because I'm not nervous. I guess working on a maternity unit you kind of know what to expect. I'm really excited to meet this little guy, I can't wait!! OK I take that back.. I can wait till after my baby shower
I am fearing certain aspects of the birth like:
Will I know I'm in labour?
How much WILL it hurt?
How long it will last for?
Will the baby be ok?
etc lol!!
But I'm SO excited I rarely think about all of these
Not looking forward to it honestly lol. I know what I'm headed into and I know its going to be tough but so worth it . At least I know I can still handle contractions without pain killers! I just hope its a short labor because I did pretty good with Drake but ended up needing gas the longer the labor went. Ultimately the epidural when I couldn't stop from pushing. Have my fingers crossed I don't need anything this time around .
I've still got a little while to go but I'm still pretty scared. Not because of the pain but because since we'll be moving soon after OH gets his new job, I have no idea where I'm delivering yet and I'm afraid I'll end up going to a hospital where the environment is overly medical and a room that has that nasty hospital smell. So my biggest fear is being anxious and uncomfortable about my surroundings
Im excited to meet my baby, but Im not ready for it yet. Which is good, because theres a good few months before he arrives yet.
I felt comfortable with the idea when I decided I wanted a water birth and got settled on the idea, but now Im a bit nervous since I cant have one anymore
i cant wait, i was scared and still am abit about the pain as my first choice is no pain relief ( if a stick to that is a different story) but im so excited it could be any min, any day, and i no im a mum even though she isnt here yet, but it will be official and i will be stiff thinking wow look what we did
