so how bad is it that i am TERRIFIED of giving birth? seriously... terrified. i know MILLIONS of women have done it but could it be that i am the biggest wuss of them all?!
randomness for the day.
i just might make blogging a regular thing again. we'll see.
Don't worry I'm right there with you! Strangely though, as it gets closer I'm starting to feel a little more at ease.
ReplyDeleteas was i. seriously distraught about the event...until i was nearing my due date, then i was just overwhelmed with wanting to finally hold the little nugget and it all just came together perfectly. your fears will be replaced with impatience soon enough! :)
ReplyDeleteaww. It's really not bad. Weelll...I had an epidural lol so I guess that's easy for me to say. I know it sounds cliche but just remember to breathe through every contraction and just let your body do it. Don't hold your breath and tense up it makes it worse. 'keep your eye on the prize' lol it so absolutely worth it!!!
ReplyDeleteI was too. I still am since I had a C-section the first time and I want to have a VBAC. It's all mental though. I'm not saying there's no pain, but most of giving birth is a head game. I recommend doing hypnobirthing/hypnobabies or reading Birthing from Within.
ReplyDeleteTotally normal! As I was driving to the hospital to have my 2nd I was crying to my husband that I was too scared and couldn't do it. His supportive self said "well, it's too late now. You should have thought about that 9 months ago;)" You're going to be amazing and impress even yourself! Look at our moms. Between the 2 of them they did this business 24 times! (Pure craziness if you ask me, but it does tell me that it can't be that bad if there are two people I love who would willingly do it over and over and over again like that.) Love you cousin!
