Hi, I am 7 to 8 months pregnant. Just need to rant out how I feel... I start to worry about labour pain as I decided to opt for normal delivery as I heard a lot of side effect on epidural, but I don't know if I can even handle the labour pain (I have low tolerance for pain) I also worry that how my in laws will be involving in my life. I kind of hate it when my FIL and SIL only asked about baby and how they going to pamper him when he is out. But the whole pregnancy I was taken care by my own family and my in laws they did nothing at all.. I feel really sad when they only care about the baby that's why I worry after I give birth I have no control over my own baby. My SIL, she is single and like to involve herself in my husband life. She tell my husband to ask me to endure the normal delivery without using anything anesthetic or else he have to pay more money. She is more worry about her brother spend on my labour. I just get so irritated by my In laws. I did not tell my husband because I don't want him having a hard time between his family and me. So I get myself feeling so lost, worry and sad. Sorry for the long post. I just need to rant it out.

Hi, coming from 2 labor experiences I have to say it’s just a phase! I endured 9cm dilation without the effect of epidural. What else could I do? Just scream it out lor. Life is not all about labor pains. It’s temporary. I also think labor pains are not your real worry. Dun let the mil and sil stress you out. I know it’s easy to say. This is YOUR pregnancy, not theirs. Try to enjoy this while it lasts. Honestly being pregnant, although has its miserable streak, is actually a wonderful experience. Some want to get pregnant oso cannot. Try to keep positive mind because being negative/depressed will also affect baby. Take a deep breath and search for breathing exercise online. Good for stress and birth later lehhh. Rant it out, cry it out if it can make you feel better. I did cry during pregnancy when I felt down and by crying it out I felt better afterwards! Life is short (esp suddenly got this stupid Cov.. who would expect this?). Don’t dwell much on negativity. Fight your bad mood away your way.
