Congrats. I hope all goes well with it 🤞🏻

My daughter had our first grandchild in October - that ended in a c section. But all great in the end. My daughter in law had her first in December, very long labour and few complications but all well in the end.

Lean on your support network.

Childbirth is the “easy” part, nurturing, teaching, sleepless nights, arguments, worrying over every cough or scraped knee. That will give you greys, but every hair that turns is also a reminder of first laughs, first steps, favourite first foods, most loved stuffies and how fast they grow. In the end you’ll give anything to be back in those early years of “firsts”. Enjoy them while you can and savour every second, because they will never come again.

Don't be afraid.
Women have been giving birth for thousands of years. Your body is designed for it! Relax and let nature take its course. You’ll be fine.
BTW, we had 7. Never having had any problems, we had the 6th one at home. A wonderful experience and quite an education for his two teenage sisters!
Good luck. ❤

All the very best for a great delivery.. are you going natural or epidural or c section?

Spend more time in water as you can get a lot of relief from the weight.

You are a person with a great strength and I have no doubt that you will master this difficult yet so rewarding challenge.

We at SW all hope that this birth will go as planned and that your husband will be able to hold your cherished newborn healthy and give you joy and pride. Good luck. You can do it 🤗

I’m sure things will go well, and I know you’re excited - I surely would be. Creating a new life - wow.

Congratulations! You'll do great, and the fact you worry means you really care. Enjoy the journey!

Absolutely terrified of childbirth

Hey, what's that all about? Take comfort in the wisdom of Friends--

[At the Lamaze class, mother-to-be Carol panics after seeing a videotaped birth.]

Ross:
Everything's going to be all right.

Carol:
What do you know?! No one's going up to you and saying, "Hi! Is that your nostril? Mind if we push this POT ROAST THROUGH IT?"

Hmmm...ok...

Yeah...

Well, I think you'll actually be fine; just realize everyone around you gor here via being born, including you and your husband.
