Feeling nervous

I have to admit that I'm MORE nervous about labor and delivery this time around then I ever was with my son. As I get closer to my due date, I find myself doubting my abilities. I know this is not a good frame of mind for a natural birth. Is anyone else feeling this way? One would think that I'd be more confident the second time around.

    I kind of feel like that too!  More like, DD's birth was about as close to perfect as they come and I'm just worried I have no where to go but down :( 

    I don't have any words of wisdom, but I know what you are saying.

    Me!  I am nervous.  I waver from being excited about it and ready for the experience to going "oh my"...why am I doing this?  It doesn't help that I really didn't start thinking about a medfree birth until I was told I shouldn't get an epi because of pelvic dysfunction.

    I think also it's because I did have an epi with DS and it wasn't an awful experience so I am doubting my ability to do this medfree.  I just lots of doubt that I need to resolve before her birth.

     

    I just keep reading birth stories and trying to get myself excited and positive.  I also found that looking at medfree birth photography gets me really intrigued and happy...such beautiful images.

    This describes how I am feeling exactly.

    I am comforted to know that other 2nd time mothers are feeling the same way.
