Labor Fears

[anon99]

My due date is this Saturday. I have an appointment on Wednesday to see if my body is doing what it is suppose to do as in getting ready for my delivery, if not I have to schedule an induction date as I’ll be 40 weeks on Saturday. If my water breaks I have to get to the hospital as soon as possible due to medical reasons so I’m hoping my water doesn’t break and I can deal with contractions for as long as possible in the comfort of my home. I am so so so nervous and scared.. I hate hospitals. I hate being away from my dog she is like my support animal when I’m anxious. I hate IVS. I’m terrified something will go wrong and I’ll die and I won’t get to meet my baby and my dog will be all alone.. 😳

Hello

Lot's of Mums have these very same fears , it is quite normal but nothing bad will happen and you will see your baby soon

All these fears will soon be forgotten because once you have your baby in your arms it will be the most special moment you will ever experience in your life along with a love you feel that you could never imagine

Good luck you will be fine and let us know when you are a proud Mummy

Take Care x

I hope so. And I will ty

[Hidden in reply to anon99]

Trust me it will all be fine

Treasure this rather than fear it , I had 3 children and no one is more afraid of everything than me , so if I did it 3 times , I know you will do it

They will look after you x

I’m trying to convince myself all will be fine but then my brain makes me feel that something bad will happen to me before I even make it to my due date. I hate anxiety. I have to get a grip on my mind.

[Hidden in reply to anon99]

I had all those thoughts all 3 times , I do think a lot of Mums do but honestly nothing bad will happen , your anxiety is trying as it always does to get in the way of this wonderful time that is to come

You will be here and telling us what a beautiful child you have brought into the world x

Well the big day is almost here x

Good Luck with your appointment on Wednesday.

You have been followed closely through the months

and should do fine once you are in labor. They will

remind you to do your breathing as well as keeping you

updated on the baby's descent. Will your mother be

able to be there?

You will soon have a little one who will love you unconditionally.

I'm sure you will be the best mother ever. Let us know how Wednesday

goes. Post us so we can calm your fears and talk you through. xx

My mom will be the only person aloud with me in the hospital. I’m sure I’ll be posting for sure 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I didn't realize you were pregnant. So first let me congratulate you

All your feelings are normal.

You will get through this. When they put that beautiful baby in your arms it's going to be the best feeling in the world.

Imagine all the nice walks you can go on with your new baby and your fur baby.

❤️❤️

Hi Anon,

While reading your post, I remember myself when I was told by my doctor that I would have induced labor. On the day of my schedule, I was so scared and worried. I was thinking that something bad might happen during delivery and would not see my baby. But all my fears were gone when the nurse told me that you would see your baby soon. I remember I was able to smile back at my nurse and my fears were replaced by excitement. Being afraid is normal. You are not alone. I gave birth at 40 weeks and 2 days, induced labor by the help of forceps. All the fears and labor pains were gone when I saw my baby.

God’s peace and strength be upon you as you wait for the coming of your baby. I pray for safe delivery, for a healthy Mom and baby. Please keep us posted.

It’s so scary I accidentally read some scary articles about mommies dying during labor now I have it all stuck in my head that I won’t be coming home from the hospital or I’ll croak before I even make it to my due date.

Ty for your comment and prayers🥺

Hello- When I was pregnant, I always read articles about labor and delivery. It made me nervous and scared. My husband told me not to read that much especially if it’s making me think negatively. Yes, I understand it’s scary. Try not to read too much. It’s OK to be informed but too informed is also not good especially when it’s affecting us negatively.

Do you already have the schedule for induced labor? Please let us know so we can pray with you on that day. On the day of my induced labor, listening to worship songs had helped me to calm down. My fears were turned into excitement.

Have a great day

[anon99 in reply to pink318]

I got it scheduled today, I will go to the hospital next Thursday to be induced at 5pm so it will be evening time. 🥺😳

Thankyou, I hope you have a good day as well.

[pink318 in reply to anon99]

I pray for God's peace to be upon you and you will be safe on that day of your delivery, healthy Mom and baby. I'm excited for you.

Keep us posted. God bless
