mentality about labor

[paris0811]

This is me personally, I feel if you go into labor scared and thinking the worst you're only going to make things more difficult. We're designed for this and every woman is different. I guess this is the reason I've been so calm about labor because I know you freaking out could possibly cause complications. Just be positive and go in as a soldier :)

I feel the same way! Everyone looks at me like I'm crazy because I laugh and say no when people ask if I'm nervous or scared. I have no anxiety, no fear, no doubt in myself or my ability to handle it. It may be excruciatingly painful, but like you said.. We were made for this.

Yessss ,people always ask me "are you scared/nervous?" Or "what are you scared of?" And I'm just like "no, I'm not scared of anything. I mean, it's gonna happen and there's nothing I can do about it so whats the point of getting worked up about it?" Lol

I'll be 39 weeks in a hour and people 2nd question is always "are you scared and nervous?" Like no and don't try to scare me into because I'll freak out lol. Like I said every woman's pregnancy is different so you can't really base your strength from someone else's experience.

Thank you for this. This has just eased my mind big time. In a little over an hour I will be 38 weeks and it has been my biggest fear since 34+1 but reading this has put me at ease. Knowing that I will have Chris there and now knowing my sister is gonna be able to miss school to be there for me is also easing my mind

That's how I feel :)

Omg that is exactly how I have been feeling! Like if we weren't able to do it then we wouldn't. Just let it take it's course, it's not aaaanything unsual and it's really nothing if you think to yourself "hey, I'm bringing another human into this world" (:
