More nervous 2nd time around...anyone else?

coryandrobin25 · December 2011

After an easy pregnancy with DD, but a complicated delivery sending me to the ER shortly after delivery to stop bleeding. I am way more nervous about the delivery of this baby. This pregnancy has been more difficult (dealing with gallbladder attacks and whatnot) so I am hoping and praying this time the deliver will be better. Anyone else have a more difficult delivery after their 1st or 2nd and nervous about this one? Please tell me I'm not the only one! Don't get me wrong, I am very excited to meet our little guy and for him to be here...just worried about the delivery process:)

Then once he's here and healthy I can worry about getting my gallbladder out.:(

Right now I'm not too worried about it. I do wonder how this L&D experience will be but I know that worrying isn't going to get me anywhere. I'm just hoping for the best. Smile

I am so much less prepared this time around. There is just nothing ready for this kid. I am hoping that I don't go early so that I have some time after I finish working this Friday to prepare and organize and set up in anticipation of his arrival.

As for the delivery... it was fine, bu the recovery was not... I am really dreading that this time.

Well... My 1st go round, I was enduced, labored for 12 hrs and ended up having a C-Section. So, this time... A planned C-Section it is.

I felt sort of jipped (how ever you spell that) because I didn't get to experience "giving birth," and I am remembering how difficult it was to try and take care of a newborn after having surgery. But this time I am MUCH healthier.

So... Yes, I am feeling very nervous about it all and a bit disapointed that I will be jipped again unless I go into labor before January 24th...

I'm not so nervous anymore, but during the summer I was because I wasn't sure my OB would be able to handle any complications (I'd heard she wasn't good with things going wrong). Now that I've switched OB's I feel much more confident that things will be alright. I did have a vacuum delivery with my daughter so I'm hoping to avoid that again, but I'd done a TON more research this time on labouring techniques and such so I think I'll be ok with the new knowledge I have now.

I actually had an easier delivery with my 2nd. I didn't have to have an emergency induction and I didn't tear. My labor took half the time too. I hope it works out that way this time. I just hope my body isn't ruined forever!

Yesss..I am extremely more nervous this time around..I had an emergency c-section last time and this time I am trying a regular VBAC and I am so nervous I'm just going to wind up having another emergecy c-section..I hope she comes out easily ! Hope the 2nd time around isn't as bad for both of us!

This is so me. DH and I are team green this time around so we are waiting to paint the babies room until after they come. But I still have to wash the basinett sheets, and some of the unisex clothes from DS. The carseats are not installed or anything. I did pick up a big box of size one diapers, but that is about it. '

As for L&D, I am having a repeat c-section, this little bugger is breech too, and my doc does not like to do versions when there was a previous c-section due to increased risk of uterine rupture. I am nervous about not being with my son for 4 days. I am going to miss him.
