Normal?

[jellybean88]

Anyone else scared?? I wasn't when pg with ds.

I kinda feel like I'm not ready to go through all of this again I don't wanna do the pg ( i had a normal uneventful pg with only mild ms being the worst thing) thing I dont want to go through labour (had a good although really painfull 5hr induced labour straightforward)and all the crap after(wasnt well enough to bf ds very very bad tearing took 3 months for pain to go away and heal) and looking after 2 kids omg !!
I do have moments when I'm excited but other moments I'm crapping myself I know u should be more appreciative as there are people who have tried harder to get pg on here than me but I feel a little overwhelmed
I wonder if I'll live this one as much as ds or if I'll move onto the new baby and love ds less

I have just come off meds for pnd because I'm pg mayby it's that

Hi Jellybean, just wanted to post and say you are not alone. I too had PND and some days I am worried it is coming back even before my baby is born. But I would say it is pretty "normal" to feel some anxiety about what the future holds, particularly if you have had hurdles to get over before. Could you possibly see a psychologist in lieu of being on meds to talk through your concerns?
Lots of hugs, and I hope today is a good day for you.

Educate yourself. If you don't want another birth like your DS's, get as much info as you can on induction, positioning for birth etc etc. If you are informed, you'll know weather or not an induction is necessary, you'll know about positioning yourself to reduce tearing & keeping birth active by keeping yourself active during labour.

All births are different & the more you know the more confidence you'll have in yourself to know that you can do it

And don't worry, if I can manage to love 4 ferals all equally, you'll love this one just as much as DS There's always room in your heart for more
