Ok I'll come right out and say it- is anyone else completely freaked out over the prospect of giving birth? I feel like my body hasn't been my body for so long now and that it will never be the same again...
Talking about it today... can't believe I'm actually going forth with pushing this time
I was terrified of giving birth. It was an unknown, scary, completely life changing. But, you know, although my body is not the same as it was before pregnancy, it's still my body. It's different, but I honestly don't even remember how it felt before. I think if I had breastfed, though, it would've been harder to recognize my body as my body.
@nomaci, I think this is it exactly the fear of the complete unknown. They made us watch all of these birth videos in our prenatal parenting class the other night and instead of calming me down it amped me up :/
