Scared of labour

Anyone else scared of labour, this is my 3rd time and I’m petrified of the pain,,” my 2nd was big and came quick the pain was unbearable and I lost alot of blood now I can’t stop reliving this and scared I’m doing it again soon 😩 it’s keeping me awake at night, worrying if I can’t cope with the pain.

Firstly take a deep breath!! The fact that you’ve done this twice and loved to tell the tale speaks volumes about what your body is capable of. On your last experience, I’m really sorry you had trauma from it but that should be no reflection on how this one will go! You are truly a goddess to have made it through two!!! Read the book my Ina May gaskin guide to childbirth, and anything you find with positive birth stories. Also if you need the pain meds, take them!!

Bless you, just know that you will be able to do this.
I had my third last week. My first was 8lbs10 second was 8lbs15 and this one decided to be 10lbs!! It wasn’t the birth I had wanted but once I realised the size I was happy with just getting him here safely. Forceps and an episiotomy..I only wanted gas and air like my last two but i had morphine and then a drip.
Birth is scary but when you’ve had a bad experience it can make it harder but it’s really important to try stay as relaxed as you can because because tense and worried can make it harder. You will be in safe hands, trust them and that your body is amazing xxx

you will be able to, youve done it twice, so you’ve already coped with the pain, the more pregnancies you have they tend to come easier, as your body is practiced! go into it with a relaxed mindset and your body will follow, youve got this 🤞🏻
