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.

I think feeling nervous is normal. I remember with my daughter feeling anxious and having a bit of a melt down. Don't know if I'd do without the drugs lol. Whatever u need to have they'll have it on hand whether u need it or not.I highly recommend the epidural lol. Numbs everything from the waist down and makes it more comfortable for you pain wise. I think by the time we all have our babies we won't care about what labor pains were going to go through. I know myself it's been one things after another...so I'm ready for it to happen anytime now.Hope u make it through the next few weeks.

I'm nervous too. I think it's mostly just because even if you have seen it, no one is the same you don't really know what it's like till you experience it yourself. I'm actually scared to death about it, but i'm a huge baby when it comes to pain :) You're not alone!

I'm feeling the same way and this is my third. I think you just get to a certain point and you have anxiety about it. I don't feel ready at all and I don't feel like I should have a baby in four weeks. Plus on top of that will I handle the labor well. Your just going through natural emotions at this point. You'll do great when your in your moment!
