advice will help

Hello Ladies.. I am a first time mom 7 weeks.  I get really nervous, almost terrified of my labor. I heard the most craziest stories. I've been getting sick and I am scared of what else is to come. Any advice on how I can avoid my fears and think positively?

@DreamaMama your so close! I can't wait until my baby comes along. It already feels like I've been preggo for years!

Thank you for all your advices! Much needed :)  I just start to worry randomly. But hopefully it goes away. I came from a family with many women and they all have their opinions and stories lol.

Contractions are painful but I'm honestly looking forward to it again. I take it as a challenge! N no ones labors are the same. And ppl are going to want to tell their scary stories.   Don't let it get to you. And absolutely when you see ur baby for the first time it will take your breath away. That moment makes everything worth it :)

Unfortunately EVERY mom worries! There's nothing you can do to make it go away 100%. Don't read into those horror stories though. DO NOT read stuff from the internet. Any question or worry you have, you call your doctor. Just remember women have been birthing children for thousands of years, it's a scary thing, but we all get through it <3 youre gonna be just fine. Have someone there with you that you trust and that makes you feel better. Baby's father, mom, best friend, sister, whoever. When you start to worry, think about that beautiful baby you'll have at the end of it all and tell yourself it's more than worth it :) with sickness, I've found that keeping your tummy full, taking vitamin B6 and a unisom together, or any nausea meds your OB gives you, drinking carbonated soda, etc helps. Don't worry, you've got this :)

So* not some

Just dont listen every woman's labor is different I have know ftm to go into labor and have a very comfortable and short labor.... try walking a few times a week and doing kegle exercises that will help build the muscles and make for an easier labor

I think once the time comes that will all go away. Right now I'm scared sh*tless too, but I try not to think about it some much, I think past the pain and all that you go through and just think of seeing my baby girls face for the very first time.

Not let it get to you now you got a longggg way to go youll have plenty of time to worry about that later. Im 36 weeks and still try to not think about it. Go to birthing classes and try to prepare yourself as much as possible. Build up your confidence.
