32 weeks and nervous to give birth

Hi mama! It is perfectly understandable to be afraid of the unknown. Most mums find that fear is removed through knowledge and understanding. Reframing the ‘pain’ that you’re anticipating is a good start. Read more about why contractions happen and why they must happen. Contractions are not a means to suffering. They are a means to birth your baby. They are surges, movements of muscles to have baby wiggle her way out, to have baby squeezed out. The beauty in this is that your body prepares you gradually for this. Braxton Hicks or practice contractions occur as your body slowly, gradually learns how to contract the fundus (the top of the uterus) so that baby can be moved down progressively. Further, contractions happen in waves, so they build and then come down. They are not sharp jabs of pain that hit suddenly. They progress as you go along. Here’s a great vid to watch how contractions work: https://www.southdaleobgyn.com/labor-delivery/how-contractions-work/ This is another good one: https://youtu.be/ahJgLFeuEFg Hope this helps mama! The important thing to know is that you’ve got this! Growing a baby is no mean feat and you’ve done that! Surround yourself with love and support. Create a safe environment for yourself so that you feel comfortable birthing. Your body will produce endorphins you need to help get you through each surge so our bodies really are miraculous creations!

The contraction is like a period cramp keep on and off and when i am about 2 cm or 3 cm i started to ask the doctor to give me epidural cause i couldn't take it the contractions and once i had the epidural it feels like haven but the epidural wont really last that long though

I know what you feel. I was also very nervous but once you are in labour, just go for epidural and the pain will be manageable. You will just want everything to be ok and your baby to be healthy too.

Hi, I can understand your nervousness but trust me it is worth it once you see the baby! More strength to you and all the best !

Don't worry mummy! Just breath in and out and relex urself! :) have a good sleep with essential oil and it will make u better ❤️ hugs!

Hi 🙋‍♀️ mummy, my tolerance for pain is quite high but yet I was so afraid 😱 but then I’m glad it is over. Enjoying my precious moments with my princess

Me too I'm afraid for the pain . But I'm trying to convince myself to be strong and I always pray the best weapon.😊

Not that bad. I gave birth without epidural once you pushed the baby out automatically the pain will be gone.

it's normal to feel scared and worried but when you see your baby everything is worth it!
