Any advice on how to deal with anxiety going into labor as a ftm? I get bad anxiety in certain situations and I have no…

Trust that your body was made to do this and tune in to it.

@aengs2, Thank you💕

I am a very anxious person but for some reason I was very calm with labor. I just kept reminding myself that it was entirely out of my control anyway and the end result was my baby. The epidural calmed me down so much and allowed me to take a nap. Hope labor and delivery goes well for you!

Idk about some other people, but I gained a sense of calm when labor started.

I have really bad anxiety but when I went into labor I litterally was just in survival mode. I didn’t think to panic, I just told myself my baby needs me to be breathing so she can get oxygen and calm and that’s all I focused on

I mentally just told myself no matter what i go through, I will end up with my sweet baby girl in my arms. I just sucked it up and got it over with. At that point I was so ready to have her out and in my arms the anxiety just faded away. I had Cassie at 38 weeks 2 days. So where youre at I was packing my hospital bag and preparing to have my baby girl the next morning. My first I went into labor at 38.6.
