Ok to be nervous

megan+jake · June 2014

I am a first time Mama and in my 39th week. I can not tell you how many men and women have come up to me recently and told me "oh, labor is easy!" or "women do it every day. It's no big deal." ... Well good for them! And thank you for making me feel bad for feeling a bit scared to push a approx. 7 lb person out of me.

I know its a natural thing that is happening everyday, and I'm sure after its all over we will be fine, but keep your "pep talk" to yourself!

This post should have gone in the Monday bitchfest thread:

It's where everyone vents about what's pissing them off today. We have quite a large board and don't want to miss labor and birth announcements so we try to keep the board organized.

Do people just wake up and decide that they need to post a journal entry on a board they've never participated on? It's so weird.
