Which part are you most scared of?

[Youngling]

So I was just curious which part of labour are you most scared of?

I think im dreading the contractions more then the burning ring of fire!!!!!
I think its cuz i know HOPEFULLY that part wont last that long, but i know i could be having contractions for ages.

So how about any1 else?

I'm dreading the whole of it.

What really scares me is this is my 3rd but with a 20 year age gap, the Midwife has told me this will be like a first labour again as everything has gone back as it was before I had kids, scarry.

As i have done it twice before i would say crowning! with the contractions i breathed in the gas and air and really focused on it going cos thats one less right?!

with the crowning i was so scared of tearing, i dont take great pride in my tuppence but have a deadly fear of it tearing or being cut so i am petrified of the head coming out...

ugh ive got myself feeling all sick just thinking about it now lol xx

Definitely the first contraction because I really have no idea what it's going to feel like.

Had a really strong pain down in my lady bits the other day and it brought tears to my eyes!!

Oh and the tearing too!! xx

 

[Youngling]

Oh god i forgot about the tearing!!!!
Well thats changed my mind, im dreading all of it now!!!

Right from school I've always had the worst period pains ever, to the extent that hardly any pain relief works for me. I've been told that contractions are like extreme versions of this so in a way I know what to expect and will just have to deal with it in the same way.

The ring of fire is the bit that stressing me out as I dont want to tear or be cut, I want bubba to pop out nicely and not get stuck or come out at an odd angle!!

 

[n14boo]

LOL!!

I just want my wee baby girl in my arms, at least at that point I'll know how bad it has been if you know what I mean!!

 

[lkb21]

awwwww gaaawwwwwd.... i hate that i'm having to think about all this again! THE BURRRRN!!!

Maybe 1st timers shouldn't readthis thread!!! lol

I'm not looking forward to my waters going/being broken for me!!! it gets so intense after that....Gulp!

you know what i'm looking forward to though? when its done, and baby is out and its all just gone...poof.... just like that!!!

 

[kc1980]

Ugh this is my first and I don't even care about more pain!! My hips are killing me day and night. I just want her to come!! So excited and impatient to meet her

 

[MrsVenn]

Just not knowing what's going to happen. I'm not scared of the pain etc, just apprehensive that I won't know what you're meant to do etc.

This is my first and I am scared about so much. I'm trying not to think about the labour too much yet but I am terrified of tearing and think that might be the worst thing for me.

 

[NeyNey]

I'm just worried about the risks with birth, and our family history of complications....I don't care what pain I have to go through, as long as he's safe and arrives healthy it'll be so worth it!!

that and i'm having an epidural

If I had to pick a physical fear??? It would be the fear of the epidural not working!!

 

[aiimee12345]

im scared about the placenta not coming out.. i dunno y but this worries me the most!
im also scared about tearing.. i just want my little girl here safely

[puddytat]

I think for me it would have to be all the pain and well to be completley honest with you i am scared of all of it. Until i have my little boy in my arms i know the worse is over

 

[Katherine]

This is my first one, so I don't really know which part would be the worst. But I really try not to think too much about it... and at the end, if other people could do it, why can't I?

 

[Youngling]

Im hoping its over with quickly, I bet the feeling once its all over is the best feeling ever!!
Thats the part im looking forward to most and holding LO for the first time

[mumof1+1]

I cant even remember the ring of fire lol so no doubt this time it'll kill me haha.

The thing im most scared of tho, is being at home alone when labour starts, i fear not being able to get hold of anybody. Couldnt care less about the pain i just dont want to be on my own through it all

Thats a good point. Iv thought of that too. What if im on my own and it happens really quickly and I need to push and baby just comes out. God i wouldnt know what to do with it

[kate1984]

Youngling it really is the best feeling ever, i wriggled round on the bed thinking i was dying (sorry) and really thought i could not do it... But i did it and did great, and that feeling when your baby is plonked in your arms and they look at you for the first time... it's weird, like you have known them forever, but the love bursting from you is so much greater than how much anything could hurt.....

I cant wait for that bit, just to kiss the top of his head and tell him he's safe and mummy's loves him!

we'll all be fine xxx

 

[lizzieredrup]

Im actually not scared of any of it!! This being my 4th, I've had different experiences each time, 1st was not good but the other 2 were great and now im just looking forward to it to be honest!
