Due on the 19th of this month

I’ve been having panic attacks recently about giving birth because I’m quite a weak person .. and I’m scared incase I’ll die, my pain tolerance is horrible and I just keep thinking I’ll die . Can anyone help or relate to this in anyway? 😢

I was similar in the sense that my pain tolerance is terrible!! I was induced at 5pm and then by 1am I couldn’t bare the contractions anymore and had an epidural.. it was like night and day, I was a completely different person.. was laid in bed drinking my water and watching friends on the iPad! Come 11am it was time to push and the midwife helped me with this when this was needed

Anxiety is totally normal but there are lots of options for pain relief and also let your midwife know how much you’re worrying. Just remember that this is what our bodies were made to do! You can do this and baby will arrive and you will do great! I would really recommend the Ina May Childbirth book as they have loads of amazing positive birth stories that make you feel very empowered. ❤️

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

Sneak Peek Test

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?
