Birth

Bakes4u

I have already given birth once and so I feel like I know what to expect. But lately I am terrified again of giving birth. I feel like I did the first time around so scared of not knowing what's going to happen. I don't know why I feel like this, I feel like I shouldn't be as scared.

 Anyone else feel this way?

I'm having a c-section and have been increasingly anxious about my lack of control over the entire situation. 

I think it is normal....

I think it's perfectly normal to be afraid of the unknown and since every birth is it's own different experience, you really don't know what to expect. I actually think it's more scary the second time around since you have something to compare it to.

I had a horrible delivery with my first so I also think that is freaking me out.

I think its completely normal. Every birth is different and each could cause anxiety. I would just try to stay positive.

I am totally calm about the c-section, but totally anxious about having another child!  I totally want the baby, but am worried about everything after the hospital (DD adjusting, sleep deprivation, etc).
