Hugs HotI. U can do this babe. Ur just going thru the same doubts we all have just before. Don't think that having fears or doubts means u can do it. It just means ur normal and honest.
Ur body knows how to bring this baby earthside. It doesn't need anyone but u to do that. I am sorry u don't have the MW u love with u on this journey. I am starting to understand how that might feel now that I have bonded with and had a great outcome with mine..... I hope that I can feel supported regardless.
Just to clarify, i have an awesome midwife this time. if i had her by my side last time, my experience would have been so different and i wouldn't have as many isshews to work through.
I have a voucher for a pregnancy massage. might see if i can book in early this week.
I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better HotI.
The great thing is that this labour and birth will be different because you have the support of a fantastic MW. I wish that you had had her with you last time too. I think it is totally normal that you are feeling a little scared. I acknowledge that I am in a lucky position as I have the experience of 2 previous, wonderful HB's to give me strength this time around. But I have other fears. Maybe it is normal for some women to have fears anyway? I had a severe bout of mastitis when DS2 was a week old. So I have a bit of fear and anxiety around that. I also fear PPH because I heard that you are at greater risk the more births you have. So that negative thought visits me sometimes. Thankfully I can talk to my MW and she always reassures me with evidence based info, which I like.
