The waiting sure does suck, but it will happen - just have faith in that.

You could try some visualisation? When I was around 10 days over with DD2 (my first VBA2C) I sat in the shower that night, and just visualised her coming out of me and lifting her onto my chest. It was quite a powerful image for me (and I moved my hands like I had something in there ITMS). I also had a huge cry the night before going into labour about being scared of going into labour - because I was scared! And I didn't realise at the time that fear is pretty normal, but the biggest thing is you feel the fear and do it anyway.

Then when I was pregnant with DD3 and got to 10 days overdue, I wrote a huge fear list - I wrote down what was on my mind and what I was fearful of, and then I wrote down what would happen if those things happened. That gave me a sense of control and put my fears into perspective. So you could try that? I also had a big cry before going into labour with her too cos I was so freaking over being overdue!! I had SPD in both pregnancies so to get to nearly 42 weeks was terrible.

I think my biggest fear at the time was that I wouldn't go into labour - because I went to 42 weeks with DD1 and didn't go into labour, wasn't dilated more than 1cm and didn't want to be induced because she was up so high. So that experience (the stuff that caused my second c-section) was stuff in my head holding me back I think.

Always here if you need to chat to someone who gets it - because I remember it well (and am fully expecting to go through it again in three months time!)

It will all be ok. This just sucks.
