Looking forward to? My baby shower is on Saturday and our maternity pictures is on Sunday! So ecstatic!

Realizations: I watched More Business Of Being Born yesterday and went into a complete panic attack and was hysterically crying for like two hours. Literally my husband almost had to come home because I couldn't control myself. That show made me feel completely unprepared for labor in some ways. I feel prepared as far as I know how I want things and procedures(newborn care) and laboring techniques done(water, ball, movement, etc).
I don't feel mentally prepared. I don't have good control of my breathing, I don't think I'll be able to find my inner self to be able to concentrate on pain management. Im afraid that I'll be to busy focusing on one thing and something will get missed.
I'm straight up scared and am just now realizing it.
I'm there with ya, I'm only 18 weeks and still scared to death about labor! No clue what's going to happen and want it all to be as smooth as possible without any problems. I think your labor will go swimmingly and you won't have any problems. I do like that movie and it did open up my eyes more to PIT and how I'm NOT going to take it, but ok on the other hand... It's still scary! Why would you opt in for a C-section !!?? That's dangerous. Still to this day dangerous, and takes precious moments away from you and baby. Ps/love your IG posts!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize how pushy they could be about it. They were talking as if the mom didn't have a choice and they were going to do what they wanted. Yea, I don't like c sections-my body knows what it needs to do and I'm going to trust that. :-)
