first time mom jitters

[njandejf]

I am 38 weeks + 4 and am petrified I am going to die during labor.. does anyone else feel this way?

[mommyeande]

Same!!!! I'm so scared I wasn't with my first asking as she was okay I had nothing to lose but now I'm petrified because I don't want something to happen and I have to leave my little girl and little boy behind I'm so scared to miss out on their lives and then to forget me I no it sounds ridiculous but it's so scary x

I wish I could be more positive, Its just impossible to picture my baby here with me. Theres nothing more that I want and its just hard to believe.

I definitely feel the same way

Thts actually how I feel as well. I'm 35 weeks and a first time mom myself, and I just went through my nesting phase. Now it feels like I have no energy and I want to sleep all the time. I had a tour of the maternity ward at my hospital yesterday and I have never been more scared in my life! I'm so scared to have my little girl and I know it sounds really funny. But I know everything will be okay I just gotta relax

You all need to stay strong and positive. Everything is gonna be just fine, just try and stay calm cos your baby can feel it when you are worried and unsettled and you really don't need that.

I am 30 weeks and a FTM and I was terrified too. Although everyone reassured me that I will be fine. Yeah it's going to hurt like hell, but women have been birthing babies since the beginning of time, it's perfectly natural, and with all the equipment, medicine, and knowledge the doctors have, you will have everything and everyone needed to help you if by any chance something goes wrong, and to just help you feel more relaxed about the experience. (That is what I was told that made me a lot calmer about the thought of labor)

Tbh I'm a ftm & I'm worried too & I also have some serious health problems that r typically dangerous within themselves but I'm also soooo Happy to be having a daughter, being a mommy, & getting to do everything with my girl that I just have to have the faith and assurance that everything is going to go
fine,  maybe not perfect, but that everything will be
A-okay & that i will be a kick *** mommy!!

I thought I was alone! This is my second child and I'm honestly terrified of labor this time around. I just feel weak lately and feel like I won't be able to make it all the way through!
