why do I keep thinking something bad is gonna happen to me and my baby at birth 😑 so annoying I keep thinking of death/still birth ect.... anyone else?
I was exactly the same girls ...... absolutely terrified even though I had 2 previous healthy labours but for some reason always panicked, I just think it's a protective instinct we get as mums to protect and it's overwhelming!! don't worry to much you and baby will be absolutely fine hun @leanne2016
True @leanne2016
once I'm in labour il.be ok. it's just the waiting and wondering.....
if we're never in control we always think of the worst @mich77
It's weird I think us women we love being in control and labour/pregnancy is the only one we can't control @mich77
deffo @leanne2016....I wonder why we do it...
Oh wow same as me @mich77 it's very annoying
Oh my god I'm exactly the same @leanne2016 @megsssimo it's all I think about these days and I've had three successful deliveries in the past!! I don't remember being this nervous before. I'm hoping it passes cos I feel like I may have a panic attack when the thoughts creep in. I'm worried something may happen to me and il leave my family behind. 😟
It's easier said then done, but best to try and think positive. At least you will be getting monitored and getting the best care. Xx
yea especially when my mw said I have risk factors so I'll be induced at 39 weeks @stacey804
Yeah, I have noticed younger girls do find it easier. I think the more life you've lived and people you've been around you start to hear stories and the worry really sets in xx
awwww exactly I don't remember thinking of all this with my first @stacey804 but maybe I was just to young and an abortion wasn't a option coz I couldn't think of doing such a thing
It worries you more when you know someone it's happened to doesnt it? My oh cousins wife had a stillborn on her due date :/ makes me feel so nervous, and I panic over every little change xx
Yeah so had my oh his first partner had a still born at 6 7 months so I'm always thinking of it @stacey804
Yeah the bad thoughts are always there, but the positive ones sometimes outweigh the negative ones. My family and oh family have had bad experiences with pregnancy, I feel so anxious xx
😑😢😢 it's so annoying coz all u wanna do is enjoy pregnancy but how? if all I keep thinking about is still birth @stacey804
Natural reaction I guess? Like when you first find out your pregnant and miscarriage is always a worry, those feelings just never go away they just develop xx
It's fucking annoying @megsssimo I don't know why I'm so scared
So I don’t think I will keep this pregnancy and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
Getting to the point where I don't think I want anybody at the hospital when I give birth
why do hospitals keep you so long after birth?
Infertility & MC?
I have been ttc 6 years and have had 4 mc no live births. Does anyone here struggle with both getting and keeping pregnant? I would love to buddy up.
awwww thanks hun @mrsripper
