Labor nerves

I know you’re looking to have some support from other FTM but as someone who’s given birth, the hardest part is recovery! I pushed my son out and thought to myself “that was easy i could do that again” and i was given oxygen from being sick— things could’ve been even smoother and it was still easy! If it helps your anxiety what i did before i had him was watch youtube videos of Doulas explaining how to give birth naturally because their pain management methods and breathing exercises worked so well for me even when i was on meds

Yes!!! But you need to trust yourself, and trust your doctors. You can do this. You made it this far, right!

Second time mom and I was less nervous before my first than now, probably because now I actually know exactly how awful labor is 😑🥴 first time round you’re better off, you don’t know exactly what to expect

10 weeks to due date and it’s getting real 😬

Same here - nervous about regulating pain and dont want to feel guilt for using what is available - so much pressure for “natural” when to me it feels natural to get the help I need to not get disregulated and in turn stress baby. Trying to tap into body knowing what it needs, and have good support that know what I want so they can help me advocate. You’ve got this mama!

If it makes u feel better im a little nervous myself but i believe we can do this

Definitely! I keep telling myself that I’m not really pregnant🤣🤣… meanwhile I’m 30W5D and practically waddling everywhere I go😭 we got this Mamas!!🫶🏾
