Extreme anxiety over child birth
Show your support
Yes I was terrified both times. I couldn’t shake it either. I have bad anxiety so it was hard. I didn’t watch any videos that would trigger those thoughts and just try to stay positive! Everything will be okay 🫶🏿
Speak life over yourself and try your best stay away from those types of videos. I’m praying you have a safe delivery and you and baby will be healthy
Yesss terrible anxiety it was awful, that’s alll I could think about everyday until I had the baby. Try and stay positive, speak good things onto yourself. You got this mama, I hope you have the best birth ever, joyous and easy.
Read books by Ina May to help you mentally and physically prepare yourself for another birth. Helps create a positive and accepting and empowering mindset. Maybe seek out therapy if your due date isn’t next week lol. There are lots of relaxing techniques and learned acceptance and learning how to care for the parts of you that are fearful so that the fear doesn’t hijack your life.
Yes I’m also very anxious about it. I try to think about risks and compare that to other things in our daily lives. Also accepting it’s ok to feel anxious and scared. I’m sorry I don’t have soothing things to say but somehow these two things help me navigate the day to day! Hope it helps
