i'm due July 2025 and scared AF

Hello mummies, is it true that giving birth is really that scary? I’m currently in early pregnancy but I get really paranoid after hearing people’s stories about childbirth. I’m scared, and I have anxiety/overthinking issues. So every day I worry… I feel anxious about what it will be like when the time comes for me to give birth.

I get anxious easily too, and what helped me was creating a simple birth plan and having my husband know what to do so I didn’t feel alone.

Labour is just one day (ok, maybe two 😅), but motherhood is forever. Keep your eye on the big picture. You’ve got this.

I was induced and it was nothing like what people described. Painful? Yes. Terrifying? No. Just breathe and trust your team.

I kept telling myself, "millions of women do this every day… and so can I." And somehow that helped me feel braver.

My labour wasn't easy, but looking back—I'd do it all again for my baby. You’ll surprise yourself, mummy ❤️

I joined a mummy group and it helped A LOT to hear others going through the same thing. Highly recommend!
