05-8-2009 - Thoughts on labor and delivery not sure...My mood while writing this blog:
not sure...


So maybe it's because I'm having so much cramping and a few contractions lately but all of a sudden I'm freaking out about labor!

I have NEVER been scared of it and I think part of that was due to my being able to see my brother born firsthand. I was right at the bottom of the bed when my mom had him and his birth was really complicated and almost ended in an emergency c-section because they thought they might lose him.

ANYWAYS! The whole time I've wanted to do things all natural and only get a c-section or induced if it's absolutely necessary. I have never, ever feared the labor or birthing part. I was way more afraid of having a miscarriage than any of this stuff.

Now, I'm getting nervous. Like what if I can't do it or something? I want him here so so much and I know that once you're at that point, the pain isn't the first thing in your mind and I know that I'll need to focus all of my energy on pushing him out.

But what the heck? Why am I being such a doof today? Haha.
