I was the perfect pregnant person so I didn't have any last time. TOTALLY LYING!!!

I was scared that I wasn't going to dialate and have to get a C-section. I was also afraid of a 4th degree tear which I'm sure has about the sam

Even as a second time mom , I have fears. I don't feel quite as freaked out, but I'm just afraid that the labor is going to go so fast that I can't get where I need to go before baby wants out. Then I'm also afraid that the labor isn't going to go a

Scared of tearing that is more than normal.

Or rather scared of how that tearing will heal or not heal.

Scared of what it will do to my sex life yep, I'll admit it!

Scared that my milk won't come in right or that I w

I just went over my birth plan with my Dr. And I made a fear section... Biggest is cs, problems with baby and feeling the baby come out feeling the tearing. It was great talking to her. I feel better since she reassured me if I don't end up with an epi I

I'm afraid of labor not progressing and having to use pitocin or an unplanned c section. I'm fine with a planned one, just not after 12 hours of labor and 3 hours of pushing (or something ridiculous).

I'm also afraid that

Can I just say all of the above plus much much more. The fear of the unknown is always the scariest for me and as a FTM - labor couldn't be more unknown than it is now. I don't care how much I read or how many classes I attend - it's always goin

1) Not being able to breastfeed

2) Taking that first poo after giving birth (yes seriously, this is scaring the heck out of me!)

3) Not so much scared, but still coming to terms with the fact that my body will never look the same even

Baby getting stuck or coming out arm first (causing bad tears).

Epi not working.

I'm more freaking out about recovery though than delivery itself.

randomnames · March 2013

My biggest fear is actually what the nurses and mw who deliver me will do. For the most part I want to be left alone and I really don't want to be pressured into interventions that aren't necessary.
I'm also afraid of severe tears.

I'm having a scheduled c-section. I'm afraid that the spinal isn't going to be strong enough and that I'll feel pain. I'm also worried about something being wrong with the baby that they couldn't see in u/s.

DarlingNIkki1028 · March 2013

I am TERRIFIED of shoulder dystocia. Sad

Also scared of emergency c-section (meaning I'll have to go under general anesthesia, which I've never had before).

Nervous

kittaywhiskers · March 2013

I'm afraid of a giant baby tearing a gaping hole in my body and/or me bleeding so badly that they can't stop it and the medical staff is coated in blood (someone once described it to me in this way). Also, someone at work told me the tissue of their ut

I'm scared of pooping in front of people. I know it's likely to happen but I don't want to think about it...and I hope these stretch marks I got from pregnancy fade.
