Scared

I'm due June 26, very nervous! Does anyone know of any soothing remedies I could do to not be so nervous about child birth?

    Being nervous is normal. I would schedule a nice massage or at least treat yourself to a nice Mani and Pedi.
    If you're into Yoga or Meditation that can help a lot.
    Just remind yourself that you will get through it as so many of us do on a daily basis and in the end you'll be holding onto the most precious thing you've ever touched.

    I'm having a bit of anxiety too so my dr gave me a list of counselors they suggest. It's completely normal. I haven't made an appointment bc I don't think I'm there yet but I've been before for different situations and know it helps a lot. Might be worth it to ask?

    Just some ideas....

    1. Google "pregnancy and birth affirmations." You'll get all kinds of strong affirmations to read through, things like "I am a strong and capable woman. I trust my instincts to know what I need for my labor.This is what my body was designed to do."

    2. As someone mentioned on another post, download a 99 cent birth affirmation track, like Gabrielle Targett.

    3. Tour labor & delivery again. Sometimes it helps if you feel that you're going to a  more "familiar" place as opposed to a strange place.

    4. YouTube some peaceful birth videos (if you're not squeamish). It can be very encouraging to watch other women have calm births. Remember "What one woman can do, another can do."
