Remember that there is medicine to help with pain. Im a ftm and i have no pain tolerance. Im a huge baby and i was a champ lol !! But i did have help from medicine because even though it wasnt bad at first i did not want to feel like it was unbearable and then it be too late to have that help . But u will be fine , i was so excited that my contractions didnt hurt until about 9cm
Just think if worse comes to worst there's always the epidural. Just knowing you have that option may make you feel a little better?
Honestly, don't be scared. It'll be fine.the doctors and nurses know what they're doing. They do this all the time. If something goes wrong they'll know what to do. It'll hurt, but it'll be worth it when you hold your little bundle of joy in your arms. You won't forget the pain of labor, like people say, but you won't have minded it so much.
I'm mentally prepared knowinb it will be painful not just pain ful but very painful. I'm a ftm too and I'm 20 years old. Just dnt think abt it. Think that's it's gonna happen no matter what and you have to go through it. U won't be as scared then
Sure hope so lol some say contractions are like period cramps, and I had such painful cramps with my period causing me to pass out even and not be able to walk and etc so I certainly hope they are not like my period cramps.
I was nervous with my first baby but now I'm pregnant with baby #3. Don't let anyone scare you. It is a bit painful but you forget about it right after baby is born.
Very true! I'm just nervous, my mom was in labor for 3 days and pushed for hours and hours and I don't want to go through that lol but I don't want a c section either. I react badly to ivs I shake really bad for some reason ever since a dentist appt years and years ago. I just hope it doesn't drag on for days haha
People talk as if childbirth is the worst pain in the world but it isn't there are a lot of other things that could happen to you in life that's a lot more painful and complicated. I would do it all over again tomorrow it sounds stupid but enjoy it and embrace it it's not something that's going to happen to you everyday
I know exactly how you feel I was absolutely terrified I suffered with anxiety and I panic attacks during my pregnancy which didn't help I felt like going for an elective cesarean just so I didn't have to experience it all. I am soo pleased I never though whilst pregnant you go through it a million times in your head whay it will be like and what it will feel like etc and you know what it will not be anything like how you imagined I was as calm as anything and as megzy said by time you get to the hospital time flies. I was pushing for 2 hours and it felt like 2 minutes. No matter what anyone says to you it probably won't make things seem any better at the moment but honestly you will be fine :)
I hope it's not as bad as I think lol I try to keep positive and think it'll be over before I know it. If pregnancy is flying by this fast labor should too I hope haha
I'm a first time mom too and I'm really nervous now I'm 30 weeks I'm excited but really nervous. My friends told me it's like taking and really big poop lol
I was a ftm and just had my son today! By the time you get to the hospital time flies! And when it's time to push all you think of is seeing your baby it's not bad at all! I was shocked at how easy it was
I'm a ftm also I'm 38 weeks pg I've been terrified of labor but up until 2 weeks ago I've become miserable I just want him out now I want to hold him and love him I guess that distracts me from being scared
