How were/are you who were/are close to labor or in labor? Did the anxiety of going into labor leave…

Honestly I never gave it much thought. With my first I didn’t really notice I was 17 and had other things on my mind lol. With my last two I was just so uncomfortable towards the end I hoped that it would have been any day.

@alejandra1x I wish I'd stop giving it thought! I'm slowly but surely getting uncomfortable so I cant imagine how I'll be 37+weeks I'll probably be so over it myself.. I pray. I'd love to stop thinking about it because all it does is stress me out 😓

@kendrav, what’s giving you the anxiety? Is it the process of labor or giving birth?

For me the nervousness and anxiety is still her, labor kinda scares me for some reason even though I’ve already done it I’m just not ready for that pain and I’m literally less than 24hours from delivering.

@alejandra1x what I think about the most is if the baby will be okay, pain medication, and definitely if something happens and I need a csection.. I'm so afraid of being numb or loopy or something... I want to just feel like me the whole time but if I'm laboring for a long time I dont know how long ill be able to handle the pain :/ so I'm trying to keep an open mind.. im sure when im there and in that much pain if I decide to get an epidural or something I wont be so scared.. i pray

@rebelprincesz24 that's so exciting you get to see you're little one though♡ do you plan on an unmedicated birth?

@kendrav, natural labor pains I can’t help there I have been induced with all three and those labor pain are the worst. I’m. Not going to lie to you contractions hurt and an epidural won’t leave you loopy you just won’t feel your legs which after dealing with contractions it’s the best feeling ever lol. The thought of an epidural seems scary now but once your there and in pain you won’t care you stabs you with what. You will have a monitor on you throughout the whole process hearing your babies heart beat. No one can mentally prepare for an emergency csection. You have about 2 months before baby gets here you can try distracting your mind with hospital photo shoot ideas, how to creat a shadow box, how not to kill hubby in the delivery room 😂😂 have a baby moon with him, that can help.

@alejandra1x yess that's what I should be focusing on though seriously! No matter how much I try to "prepare" you just cant! I have no idea what I'm getting into and anything can happen, really need to focus on the things I can control it's hard not to think about but I am driving myself crazy over something that'll happen one way or another! And ugh I'd hate to be induced not all women say it hurts more but definitely the majority does and I handle pain good but I havnt been in labor so I cant talk lmao cause I'm sure i will be wanting to kill my hubs!

@kendrav hunni it's ok to freak out I just had my 4th and still freaked out. It's just something that you can't prepare for cause nature will takes its course who knows but something that help me block the pain out was breathing and I did all of them natural. Long as you got the breathing techniques down you'll be good and you're going to be so happy that your princess us coming until you may block the pain out. I blocked it out cause i was ready to freaking eat lol. You got this mama you can do it even if you got to get the pain meds to help you relax you'll do perfect luv......
