38 weeks & really worried

i going 39 weeks. 5th child. 1 normal using gas. 2nd csec. the rest normal without using any pain relief. i always tell myself this the pain will only b there max a day if u on long labor. but unfortunately, all my normal deliver less than than 4 hr endurance. i recall my no4. i really dont feel the pain. maybe i used to it already. all the best to u. my no 5th also i will not be using pain relief.

Take the epidural early when you’re about 4cm dilated, then you won’t feel that painful Contractions and can still rest before pushing. Always remember to take the epi before gynae breaks your water bag! You will be amazed by how much pain your body can endure.

Dun worry! I always believe, no point worrying before. Wait for the actual ting to happen then say! Then i didnt even know i was having contractions when i went a&e thinking it was just very bad tailbone pain but i was actually 4cm dilated 😂

You’re not alone! FTM at 28weeks and already starting to be nervous. But I also tell myself not to worry so much. Be strong and let’s keep reminding ourselves that our bodies are made for this 😊

Dont worry too much about it. You will be amazed by how strong you are when you are in the delivery suite. In the meantime rest well and enjoy the last few moments of pregnancy.

I just gave birth a month ago. Was really worried and all tensed up as it was my first pregnancy. But things were not as scary as I imagined it to be with epidural.

how was it? did the epidural really prevented all the pain? first time mom here with low tolerance of pain as well, and really worried about delivery pains 😢

If low tolerance. Please consider epidural! I had natural birth without epidural nor gas and I still remember how it feels 😣

Don’t worry got epidural!

How did it go?
