I always think of that day.

But to stay positive, I always say to myself.. "come on! its only one day!!" and baby will be here

I think that for me its so far away from happening. But thought of letting u know how I think about it.

I was completely alright with it, but I was delusional. It's going to take alot out of me. I just hope I do her justice.

No one ever gave up during labour, no one ever put their hands up and said "right, i can't cope, lets stop this now". If you get to the point where you wonder where your strength is going to come from, you will be nearly there and it will be over before you know it. Something inside up makes us cope and then something inside us makes us forget as soon as we hold our new baby.

Most of the people I know who have done it don't remember much at all.

We are built to do it, and there is always pain relief. I am keeping an open mind about that - if it gets too much, then i am going to go for it!

I know. I really do know. I just can't believe that it's actually going to happen soon..

I wish i could be worried about the labour - i am so scared about the after bit as mine is a special baby.

I have every confidence in you! You can do it!

Yeah, I'm sorry. I know there are so many things that I have to be thankful for. As far as I know she is perfectly healthy and just relying on me to bring her into this world with as little stress as possible. I don't know why I've gotten like this. I was so excited for labour, and what mine would be like. Now it has become so real, so soon, and I now know it's going to be so different to anything I could imagine. I guess I will deal with it when the time comes. We were made to do this.

I think you're entitled to have a freak out! We all are! I know I had one a couple of weekends ago where I totally lost the plot for a few days where I basically said that I wished I wasn't pregnant, I never asked to be, I hate everything about it, I hated the feel of LO kicking me etc....

But then I had a friend give me a load of baby clothes and guff, and it brought me back to earth and made me realise I was actually more chuffed than I thought!

To be honest, that was my first "major blip" and I was surprised I hadn't had one before then.... and I expect to have a few more as I get closer to D-day!!

I have never regretted her. I may have thought once or twice, what if it hadn't happened? But I have never, ever, regretted her. I want her so much and she is going to be so amazing but it's just the getting her here that is bothering me today lol

I too am freaked out about labor, how much it's going to hurt etc... I worry more about afterwards, how being a parent is going to change mine and my husbands life. You will do great, the pain eventually goes away (so I'm told) all you need to do is just focus on how much you want to see your LO and hold her in your arms. The sooner you push her out, the sooner the pain goes away. Remember, drugs are good, lol!!!!

My freak outs are I can't believe I (of all people) am going to be a mom. I still like to sleep in, be by myself when I want, leave and go do stuff when I want. I wonder if I am going to have the patience with the night feedings and someone always depending on me. I wonder if I will teach him well and help him to grow into a responsible adult. I just sit in the nursery and get all excited because I know it's going to be one big adventure I can't wait to experience. I'm thankful that God has given us this beautiful gift. Cheer up hun, you will get through this, just look at the brighter side of things.

Totally agree with you!!!!

Toria, I know it's hard but don't think about it too much. It's just gonna drive you nuts!!!!! It sure hurt as hell when you're in labor, I couldn't talk or move when I would get contractions... But once I got the epidural, I was all smiles, and enjoyed the birth !!! We even spend the afternoon watching Ali G & some movies on my laptop !!

Everything will be fine Toria ! x
