Having my baby tomorrow - terrified!!!

[BabyBubbles]

I'm having my section tomorrow. I'm not scared of the surgery or the recovery or anything like that - I'm terrified of the baby!!! What if I don't know what to do with him? What if I can't stop him crying or satisfy him? I'm so scared of being on my own in hospital with him it's making me anxious. Anyone else?

I'm so looking forward to meeting him, we've tried for years for this baby, I think I'm just feeling a bit daunted by it all

I think it's normal to feel nervous. However, once you are holding him, nothing else will matter and your instincts will kick in. Even if it's your first baby, your body knows what to do! Also, at the hospital, you should have lots of support form nurses etc.
and good luck

Good luck for tomorrow. I know how you feel - I'm a first time mum due on 29th and I'm terrified too. I'm sure everyone must be right when they say that instincts kick in but it doesn't make me feel any less nervous! Really can't wait to meet my baby soon though. Hope all goes well for you xx

Awww how exciting!!! I am the opposite, I am quite confident in that I will be okay looking after baby as I have had experience of with nephew etc but I am v.vanxious about the epidural & how I will deal with pain after surgery.

I am sure you will be fab! Cant wait to see pics and read your birth story!!!

First congrats hun!!!!!! Its gotta be crazy to think that tomorrow you will have brought a new addition to this world! I am the same way, I am not nervous about labor or a csection or anything, Im scared about how Im going to care for the baby!!!! I think fear is natural to have, and according to everyone Ive spoke to that has a baby, it should come as second nature as soon as you look at your LO- Lots of luck tomorrow hun! Cant wait to see pics

yes it will come natural..even thou i am doing same at mo, on my 2nd one (6yrs apart) planned section next wk ...wonder how i will be looking after baby..but last time came naturally..more so when got home as was nervous in hospital...but every mum gets told she is not doing something right by midwives even if its her 5th baby..i remember that from last time...we all got told off for doing something wrong...but you will be fine....midwives are a great help really but u always get one who tells u something ur doing is wrong..

good luck tomorrow..once you have baby in your arms..your fears will vanish, you wont want to put him down!

First of all Congrats and good luck!!! I am sure all will go well. And secondly don't worry about not knowing what to do. You will know. Its instinct. You just need to trust yourself and do what comes naturally. And if your worried about not being able to get them to stop fussing or something try just singing to them in a soft monotone voice. My little nephews and nieces have LOVED that when they were newborn. Didn't matter what I sang it was just the tone. I remember one night I went over to stay the night to help my brother and his wife get some sleep for one night cause they were just sooo exhausted. So I stayed up with the baby. I must have spent half the night singing ABC's to him. But the tone just helped to sooth him just enough. But you will do great I am sure.

I have just started panicking about it. I sometimes am just wishing I wasn't pregnant just because I freak out and get scared! Even though I've wanted this for so long

All you can do is trust that nature and instincts take over and you will do great

Good luck

Good luck! I'm sure it's natural to feel this way. I imagine the nurses will be supportive too especially after a c section x

 

[Kitten_x]

yep! my OH says he's nervous that we won't be able to pay for all baby's things but all my worries are about the tiny little person we'll be responsible for! Sometimes I sit there and think about my baby crying and I can't make it better scary! I'm sure it'll all be ok. Doesn't stop us worrying though! x

I'll update with birth story and pics soon as xxx
