I know earlier in my pregnancy I’ve talked about how scared I was of the labor and giving birth part.. I was all fine with it until I got told I will be having him this Sunday. Now I’m all nervous and scared.
I went to my 37 week appt. and got told to go home and pack and come back to the hospital 2 hours later. I had him the next day. That drive home from my appt was the most nerve wracking drive of my life. I wanted to cry. I wanted to scream. I was excited because I knew by the next day I’d get to hold him. But at the same time all the thoughts were coming to me of “I’m not ready for this” “I can’t do this. I’m not prepared” you CAN do this. It’s natural to feel scared and nervous. When you get to hospital, get comfortable. Make yourself feel at home as much as you can. The thing about drs in labor. They go by a standard labor practice. But what they were telling me to do didn’t work for me. So I listened to my sister and everything went so smooth. You’ll do just fine.
@db413, thank you!
