anyone

Anyone more scared with their second than they were with the first. If you would have seen me with my first I thought I was a natural. But my pregnancy has been so much worse. I'm just so scared with my second.

I am way more nervous with this one! I had a super long labor with my first and tore really bad so I am hoping labor goes a lot more smooth this time around!

See and I'm freaking out about what to do if it's a boy too! (We're not finding out the gender) With my daughter, I already understand female anatomy and never had a bad time taking care of the cord stump. With a boy, there's the question of circumcision and how to take care of it properly either way!

I think I'm more afraid of the unexpected toss time. Like, last time if I'd needed an unplanned c section, big deal, get baby out safely. This time I have a toddler I need to get home to abd take care of. I can't spend four plus days in the hospital to recover and then not be allowed to lift my almost two year old!
Plus my daughter was in nicu and nobody expected that. We got lucky and she was discharged the day sheet me so we never even left, but I can't imagine having a nicu baby with kids at home.
Birth wise I'm not freaking out as bad because I know better what to expect and honestly, my last experience was awful so it'd be really hard to do worse. I'm not afraid of tearing this time and I'm not afraid to tell the nurses no if they try to suggest something I know I don't want (such as valsalva maneuver aka purple pushing). I'm not even afraid to break hospital policy (with my midwife's blessing and permission if course!)
