Scared?

Sorry not pregnant, Just wondering if theres any ladies out there that are getting anxious or even a little scared about the big day?

It was easy for me beacuse I had a planned c-section with the girls so I knew weeks in advance when they would be here. I imagine the not knowing when would be a little scary. Also I don't think it really hit me that they would actually be coming out untill the day they arrived! Its weird I was so wrapped up in being pregnant and what stage of pregnancy I was at that it never really truly sunk in that I was about to meet my first babies until the day it was happening.

Just wondering all you new mommas to be, what are your thoughts are on the big approaching day

I just wish this baby would get the hell outta me!!!!!

Im on number two and still scared!

I do have the option of having an elective c .. and although I remember how much labour REALLY hurts, I dont want to go through another c section if I can avoid it.

But . still scared (just in total denial at this point lol)

Scared ? damn straight Im scared!
Even tho I was "lucky" and had a straight forward labour with no complications, inverted commas are because at the time I didn't feel lucky, I still know how blimming painful it was.
Last time the choice to have pain relief was taken out of my hands and I had none, this time despite how scared I am, my plan is to not have any , which DF doesnt understand .

I guess you could say , Im scared ,but excited, cos ive seen before what my body can do ,and I know that at the end of it , I get a little bubba !

I did get scared tho, looking at some graphic childbirth pictures , it never ceases to amaze me ,how , erm, big it gets down there , there were pics of c sections too, and that scared the bejaysus out of me .
I shall keep this book and show C these pictures the instant she tells me she has a boyfriend ....

Not scared yet. Actually kinda excited about the whole process but then I haven't read a whole lot on it yet, nor have I seen any pictures or videos of labour so perhaps I'm still a little naive about the whole thing Maybe it's best to stay that way!!

Just skip the classes too ..

I had an elective c/s last time cos he was breech so this is all a bit new to me as well, trying for a vaginal this time. I didn't mind the c/s and recovery wasn't as bad as i thought it would be but it's not something I would choose to do and I did have the choice to have another c/s if I wanted. Just hoping it doesn't end in emergency c/s but if it does at least I know what to expect and it won't come as a big shock.
I was worried about labour earlier on in this pregnancy but now I am so over being fat and uncomfy and having false labour every night that I figure one day of bad pain is better than this continuing for any longer.

Dana I was always hoping they would invent some kind of star trek way of beaming the baby out completely pain free but alas that hasn't happened yet.

Im having an elective C/Section this time, cos I had a horrible labour last time(48 hours) and an emergency c section, so I have to have an elective this time as its so close to my last....and Im doing this again???

Im a bit scared I guess, the c section was a bit scary...buts thats cos of all the dramam that was going on with my labour.

I was a little scared but overly confident with DD1. Then I had an emergency c/s (due to haemorrage) and that really flipped me. With DD2 I was completely freaked out and wasn't even wanting the baby to be born at all - until I hit 38 weeks (phew, just in time!). I didn't know if I would have a successful VBAC or another emergency c/s with her, so that was the scariest. With DD3 my confidence came back and I was "only" nervous. I'm not really thinking about it yet with this one but I guess I'm getting more confident each time now. Still, I don't like pain very much LOL

I think I was mostly in denial but a bit scared (esp for Amy as I convinced myself that I would have a terrible labour and end up with a C-section) but by the time I was 7 day over I was a bit like Julia - just get this baby out!!! And out she came and the gas was gggoooooodddddd

With Sophie I was to busy having a toddler to chase to even think about what was going to happen
