Biggest labor fear! When I was pregnant with my son my biggest fear was having a bowel movement when pushing... Well…

I had a vaginal birth with no meds, and I didn't scream once. I bragged about it to my husband and now I know this one is going to kill me xD

@tokia there was no mistaking it. Plus my "sweet" husband kindly let me know lol! He said loudly "I didn't know labor smelled funny... Oh wait" xD I hated him but at the sesame time didn't care

My cousin had a vaginal birth to a 11lb baby. (They guessed baby would be 8lbs b4 birth)That's my fear! She has been on medical maternity leave for 12wks because she still isn't right down below. She uses the bathroom on herself and is still in pain. Lord help me, I'll kill a dr. I'll take c-section over that!

Besides something going wrong I'm soo scared of going into labor during a snow storm!! I was durning a storm and my mom almost didn't make it to the hospital. Just my luck my son is due a day after my birthday lol.

I have the pooping fear and I'm scared of the cord wrapping or not hearing a cry.

I'm afraid of ripping. I've heard such horror stories and I'm very sensitive down there so I'm terrified.

Im really not nervous. I had a csection with my first which went really well so I really don't fear anything. I just hope to have a healthy baby. I never been the type to stress over the unknown.

I'm a ftm and I'm totally scared of pooping lol. Did they tell you that you did?

After I had my 4th child I had heart complications. Arrhythmia. It wouldn't resolve on it's own so I had a cardio version. Scary to deal with. Trying to not have that happen again. It could have been the pitocin or the lady turning it up and down.....or just my body. I don't want it to happen again. :-( I couldn't even walk without my heart rate going crazy.

I tried not to worry too much because a lot of it is out of our control. We honestly never know what's going to happen. I ended up having an emergency c-section because of several factors. In the end I had a beautiful son and it only took me a few days to get up and going again.

Not bn able to hv a vaginal birth and hvn to get a c-section.

Since I went all natural with my first I hated the pain, my fear is going into labour and not having time for an epi or any other pain relief.

The pain!!! I just hate the pain between your last 6-10 cm....lool I don't know maybe I have a high pain tolerance but I just hate this phase ...and now I fear it so much that I decided to go for an epidural this time to enjoy my baby

I had a 3rd degree tear with my son, stitched me up and I was up moving around the hospital the next day. Wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. But omg!! Pooping is my fear. I didn't with my son but I'm scared this time around with my daughter I will! Did the dr tell you that you did? Was it a lot..? Lol. @knockout

Ripping and the pain

@lyla I ripped so bad that the dr.s were actually panicking because of the blood, but they stitched me up and I was walking in 3 days.

As for a c-section that's my other fear :(

I'm scared my son will rip me, or I'll have to get a c-section. I don't really want to have too much extra pain going on and being constrained to the bed because I need to be able to get up and move around in case my SO can't get time off his job to help me out.
