Please dont judge me and i know this is gunna sound so stupid but im 10 weeks today and its just hit me that im a quarter of the way through!!
Im really freaking out :S I dont know why because im excited about this but it feels like its goin really fast! And its hit me that im actually going to have a baby.. Ahh!! Sorry needed to get that out..

Anyone else feeling like this? Up one min then down the next :(
 
I do, I keep thinking how on earth am I going to cope its freaking me out
 
I think we all do .... I freak out quite a lot! Ive always had this fear of dying during labour :( Still worried about it now! But I try to put it to the back of my mind and just think of positive things :flower:

:hug:
 
Aww wow, that's exciting! I can't wait 'til I can say that :D

Tiger that's a random fear.. I wonder why you've always had that? I was always convinced I wouldn't be able to get pregnant, and we apparently did it on the first try!

Me too totally freaking out just dont know how i will cope, i terrified about the birth bit too. One of my colleague (in a previous job) died of a heart attack while giving birth due to the stress of it on her body which just deepend my fear
 
I must admit Im freaked out wondering how im going to cope as I seem sooo tired and lifeless at the mo.

the labour thing I get I have waves of worry especially when I really sit and think about it. Ive done it twice before but the fear is still there. with my second I actually wrote letters to my family and my little boy just incase and I cried so much when I went into hospital. then it was all over.:happydance:
 
you know labour is not as bad as you see on tv and that i have had a natural labour and csection and hands down id do natural labour again as i had control over it and had the choice of meds if i wanted i only used gas and air and pethadine sp? and honestly its the most amazing experiance ever i give you it does hurt and in the process i told the midwife "im gonna f***ing shit myself" lol i felt so much during it please try and not freak out xxx
 
I've always had a fear of dying during labor, too, so you're not alone! For me, it's because of an episode of ER that I saw while a teenager.
 
I've had a fear about dying during labour. But I am personally trying not to think that far ahead. I'm just taking each week as it comes and looking forward to small personal milestones and events. There's nothing we can do about the giving birth bit, so there's no point worrying! Easier said than done, I know!
 
Me too and even more so now that I realized after your post that I'm 1/4 of the way into it too! ARHHH! Excited but I keep getting really scared about pain and kinda freaked out that there's a living being growing inside me.

I need to keep reading the Ina May's childbirth book to calm down about labour and listen to my hypnobirth audio more. I have plans to get an epidural but still, things don't always go as planned and I like to be prepared.
 
Im not worried about the birth right now :S dont know if thats a good or bad thing lol

Sorry i diddnt wanna freak anyone out lol It was just somthing i realised this mornin.. So amazing tho :D cant belive its actually happeneing to me still :)

Good luck everyone :) xxx
 
I have always had a fear of dying in labor, because of TV & stories, etc. But I think my greater fear is not being able to deliver naturally. I am petrified by the thought of an epidural. PETRIFIED. To make things worse they give you a catheter which is another HELL NO KTHXBYE for me. I have been in extreme amount of pain before, I want to stick it out as long as I can naturally, but if I have no choice - I don't know what I'd do.

But you get the catheter after the epidural so you won't feel it, there is so much going on you don't even realize what's happening to you. I had to have an emergency c, scariest thing I've ever been through! But when you're in the moment, all you can think of is getting the baby out so you'll listen to whatever the nurses and doctors tell you! Oh, I need to have my abdomen ripped open to get this ball of fire off of my cervix? No problem! I didn't want an epidural either and I made it to 8 cm before I asked for it, had I not of asked I would have been going to my surgery sans meds so I'm thankful I asked when I did.
 
Yes at times it does seem to be flying by and then other times it just seems to be dragging for me lol. I was just thinking today about how much me and my husband's lives are going to change and its scary! I don't know a thing about babies or how to care for them so im worrying how im going to cope. I've even now thought as far ahead as when they are in the toddler stage and how im going to deal with that! Im freaked out lol.
