I'm really starting to worry now about Labour and the baby and me being ok, I even started talking to Hubby last night about making a Will incase anything goes wrong in labour or beforehand.

Does anybody have days like this? I get myself so worked up I scare myself, I really dont want to be pregnant anymore I just want my baby here so I know she is ok, im fed up of the waiting around to see whats going to happen at the next scan with this brain fluid, this time next week we will find out if its got any larger, i'm such a mess.

I have my Midwife this morning and im going to ask her about inducement for the SPD pain, im hoping she says they will because I dont think I can go full term!

As im writing this I feel so selfish for wanting my baby to be here before she is "fully cooked" but i'm so scared that im making myself ill.

I know im not alone in being worried about labour and that she will have to come out one way or another eventually lol. Just wanted reassurance really that im not going mental lol xx

im not to worried about labour but have panic attacks about being pregnant and the baby being ok! your def not alone! ive been useing bachs remides o help mine and relaxation! x

you are not mental hun, its all totally normal - i guess you are just a worrier- sorry to say but it doesnt go away - ever just a different thing to worry about once the lo is here

not sure about them inducing early due to spd, from other womens experiences i have read on here it seems to vary from area to area and you need to be lucky to have a consultant who will agree to it - good luck though x

Hey honey

You're not alone in feeling like this, with Lucy I felt the same and this time, if im honest I feel even worse.

I cant imagine how you must be feeling with regards to the fluid on the brain so cant really give any advice but as for the feelings of wanting to make a will and anxiety about the birth, I can totally relate to that.

It didnt start til about 35 weeks with Lucy but I used to wake up almost every night shaking and sweating and having a complete panic attack about the birth. As you already know I was utterly convinced I was gonna have a 3 day labour ending up with an emergency c-section with every possible complication but the reality was nothing like that, it was a breeze! Doesnt stop me from having the same worries this time though.

The more you relax the better things will be hun, easier said than done though, i know. Speak to your mw about your anxiety today, im sure she'll be able to put your mind at rest if only a little bit.

Lots of hugs hun and you know where I am xxxxxxxxxx

I worry about labour too, despite being through a normal birth before.

Its only natural to feel anxious. Its a big ordeal, but you have to remember women the world over do this everyday and we are in a very fortunate position to have good hospitals with experts on hand to help us in any situation.

My mum came round last night (shes a midwife) and I got to talking about labour and 'what if' something bad hapened. The stats are 1 in 100,000 women in the uk die in childbirth from complications. Thats 10 in 1 million hun. If you do the math the likely hood is slim to none and more importantly if you have had a normal pregnancy and you are healthy then that 1 person isnt you - its more likley the unfortunate women who have health problems before being pregnant and thier body doesnt cope aswell as someone in full health. So dont be worrying yourself about complications hun.

Its only natural that you want the baby here now too, I want mine here to be over with the birth part aswell - its a magic experience but lets be honest, if we could have the baby actually brought to us by a stork - we would choose this over pushing a person out of our vagina!

If you need someone to talk to then pm me - im a total worrier about everything and have bad anxiety but im also able to snap myself out of it when i look at the actual facts and take a deep breath.

Everything is going to be just fine

As for the spd, I know how you feel. I barely slept last night and my pelvis was clicking everytime I moved, So painful. You can get induced if the pain becomes that bad, I think if you were around 38 weeks it would be an option. They are never overly keen on doing it but it really does come down to just how much pain you are in.

Chin up hunnie and just think that it'll all be over soon and the only thing you'll have to worry about is having no sleep

I am really looking forward to being a mummy and meeting my little one, but the thought of him/her popping out really scares me. I'm not so bothered about the labour itself, just the birth! I still can't see how a baby is going to squeeze out of down below!! I've had a brilliant pregnancy, but the past week has been real hard work and I am so ready for my bubs to arrive. But, I think due to the fact that things have been so good it's got me paranoid that the labour/birth is going to be horrendous! You're really not gong mental at all, I'm sure there are 1000s of pregnant ladies who feel like this. It's only natural to be worried of the unknown. And at the end of the day, just remember the old cliche of - women have been doing this for donkeys years and plenty go on to have their 2nd or 3rd child, so it can't be that bad - or at least that's what I keep telling myself everytime I start to panic! Good luck hun, I'm sure all will be fine! xxx

How did your appt go hunni?

aww hun i hope you do manage to start to relax a bit and be able to enjoy the time preparing for you little ones arrival i know how anxiety can be and how the pain makes it just worse caus its hard to be active to keep your mind off the pain when its bad.

just for everyones reference it is a good idea to have at least " Legal Guardianship" issues sorted out once you have a baby or 2 just so you and the person you choose know what would happen/ be expected in the case of the worst happening to you or your partner, esp important if like me your family lives far away. legally everything you own will go to your NLR which if your married is your OH if your not will be to your child but somone needs to be their legal guardian till they are 18 so it helps to make that choice.
It might help you find some more peace if you had these things sorted as well so you werent worrying about them so much.

Wishing you a Happy New Year

Yeh all ok with Midwife Blood Pressure is fine, heartbeat nice and strong and clear. We got our dates for antenatal classes too
