Re: Anyone else scared

I'm scared of everything! Scared of something going wrong during labor - even though this is my second. Scared of taking care of two kids! And this might be weird but I love my son soooo much I wonder if its possible to love a second just as much?

Re: Anyone else scared

I was terrified of even being pregnant before my BFP.

Is it as bad as I thought (at least at 27w), no.

I am scared of having the baby though. Very scared. But again, I have anxiety issues and am making up a horrible scenario in my head.

Realistically I keep saying what someone else said, women have been doing this FOREVER. And if some of my friends who are more "sensitive" then me can do it... I should have no problem. Also, by that point I'm hoping that just wanting the baby out will overcome my fear of it actually happening.

(At least this is what I keep telling myself)

I'm not afraid to be a mom though and taking care of the baby. Like everything else I'll figure it out lol.

Re: Anyone else scared

im scared of not making to the hopsital on time. My DD was born in under 3 hours and my DS was born in 45 minutes. I was walking around 5 CM and had no clue i was in labor. I went in for my 38 week check up and the dr was like umm you need to get to the hospital now. Thank god i had that appointment b/c he was born 1 hour from when the doctor said it!!!

so yes i am scared of that!!!

Re: Anyone else scared

I am 29w and still totally terrified that something is going to happen to my baby. I am worried about losing her, and potential health problems she might have.
Even though everything has come back normal, I can't seem to shake the feeling that having this baby is just too good to be true!!!

Re: Anyone else scared

This is my 3rd and I still have all those fears!

They are all totally normal

Same here, but make that a toddler and TWO newborns.

Re: Anyone else scared

I'm definitely nervous about childbirth...mainly the hospital and being poked and all that.

I am mostly scared about how I will juggle work and the baby, i have a long commute everyday and work a good amount of hours. Also worried about how we will afford childcare especially since we just bought our first home.

Re: Anyone else scared

I wasn't scared of labor with DS #1. I was never worried about being a mom or caring for DS. Obviously it's a bit different with your own, but I spent a lot of time with babies as a teenager. I've always loved children and knew that both my DH and I would provide a loving home for our kids.

This time I am a bit more nervous b/c I am most definitely going to need a c-section.
I want to be able to enjoy the moments after giving birth and not be dazed or in so much pain from surgery.

BUT ABOVE ALL I AM FREAKING OUT ABOUT HAVING A 3 YEAR OLD AND TWINS!!!! I have no idea how I am going to manage this. I EBF DS for 13 months and worry I will not be able to do the same for the twins. I worry that DS will resent the babies b/c he's been the center of everyone's lives (he's the only baby on both sides of the family). I also worry that I will not be able to provide the twins with all the fun activities and excursions that we had with DS 1. There's just no way I can do the things I am used to doing with 1 with 3.

I count my blessings every day that I have a supportive husband and family who have assured us that it will work out. I know they are going to help out as much as they can. Somehow we will modify the way we do things and make it work.

5 more weeks....
