terrified of labor
So I'm 37 weeks and beginning to panic.. First time and I dont know what to expect dont know a real labor contraction feels im afraid of the pain afraid of everything! Is it really as bad as I imagine? How bad does a contraction hurt will I even be able to make it to the car to get to the hospital ugh im so anxious.
Shoot, I hit the send button w/o prof reading, sorry for the spelling errors,or finishing what I was saying. It will be fine. My actual birth was a breeze. 4 pushes no pain. Just remember... Positive happy thoughts! It will be ok!
Everyone's pain level is different. For me, it wasn't until they gave whatever it was they gave me to really bring on the contractions. Before that I want to say I'd had been already having contractions like 6hrs before they have me that stuff. I thought I was going to have her naturally I was in absolutely no pain, but once that stuff kicked into high gear. I couldn't move without extreme pain. I was in and out of conscious. Finally after 8-9 hrs of that they gave me the epideral. But your body knows what to do
Weird I did not use a bad word lol
I was so scared when they told me I was going to have to be induced. I was like nooo not yet!The contractions hurt and the pushing ***** but somehow you fight thru it mentally. You wont be scared when it happens. You will be able to handle it once labor starts
Omg I'm due in two day's it hasn't quite hit me yet but man I'm scared on what gonna happen! Ftm
Omg I'm due in two day's it hasn't quite just me yet but man I'm scared on what gonna happen!
It's really not as bad as u may think. Definitely not as bad as what's in the movies or on tv lol We r made to do this. Just believe in ur body's abilities. And yeah, there's always pain relief options available.
Don't worry hun! It's not tht bad! When I was pregnant with my first some, I used to watch those labor & deliver shows the used to have on discovery health channel. They made it look worse then it really is! When it was time to go to the hospital somehow I Just KNEW it was the real thing (only had one blank trip). I had my son naturally with nothing but an iv in my hand...no medicine whatsoever! (I was only 18). In fact, I was concentrating so much that I didn't feel when the doc cut me a little so I wouldn't tear! When it was all over I had my son in my arms while the doc was sewing the cut he made....I didn't feel tht either, I was too busy enjoying my newborn son!!!!
I"m only 20 weeks and trying not to think about the labour already. Even though I know i will need to know the facts at the moment i dont want to think about it cos it scares me :/ not so much the labour pain, but the possible 'tearing' and general recovery pain
They come and go and they do hurt but it starts off slow and not as painful then progresses gives us time to get ready and then hospital will help, with epidural if you choose that.
Not gonna lie it hurts like hekk but it didn't hurt as bad as I was thinking... but everyone's pain tolerance is different
