I`m pretty scared too. I don`t quite know how I will deal with it either. I`m hoping hypnobirthing actually works!

i was in the same boat. soooo terrified. now i`m 38 weeks and, believe me, after the WHOLE pregnancy i am SO ready to go through labor! LOL i think it`s supposed to work like this! you`re scared at first but then when you finally get to the end you are ready to do just about anything, including labor by any means, to get the baby out! don`t get me wrong, i`m still very nervous but NOTHING like i was say....12 weeks ago. I am SOOO ready to be done!!

I LOVED my epidural! Epidurals are great things! I was able to rest and enjoy my labor after mine. I didn`t throw up either, I`ve heard it`s really common, but no one I know has thrown up during birth if that gives you any comfort.

I`m not as concerned about the cramping as I am nausea. I have a very high tolerance for pain as long as i know WHY i`m hurting but if I get nauseated I just think I`m going to die! Did a lot of people get nauseated? I was fine about labor till I read that most women throw up. That is mostly what I`m freaking about. (CRAZY RIGHT?)

Don`t plan too much as it upsets you when things don`t go the way you hoped. Just go with the flow as much as you can and don`t be frightened to take drugs or an epidural if you need it.

The best piece of advice I have for when labour begins: Keep moving. With my first, I refused to move and I had a real bad labour. With my second, I kept myself busy when I went into labour. I finished cleaning the house, did the washing, cleaned my sons room, cooked dinner... I just kept moving, and seriously it went quicker and smoother then my first baby. I`m also with the other mum`s, don`t stress, that babies comin one way or another...lol.

lol... not to mention, it`s not like you have a choice! that baby`s coming whether you`re ready or not!! haha <333

if you are really nervous just remember you can get an epidural and not feel a thing!! i didnt even know my baby was coming out until they let me reach down and feel his head. and he was 9 lb 5 oz!!

I agree with Ermsmom. The best advice anyone can give is to not stress about it. No matter what you go through it really is worth it.

ermsmom (1032.6 days ago)
I know this won`t help too much but the biggest advice I can give is don`t stress about it. Some people have it easy, others more difficult. You`ve never been through it before so you just don`t know. Try not to get yourself worked up over something that you can`t control and have never experienced. What you get in the end is worth it.

  1. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  2. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  3. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  4. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  5. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  6. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  7. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  8. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  9. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  10. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
