I know I’m probably being a big baby but as time getting closer to my due date I’m sh*t scared I have this fear in me I don’t wanna give birth although I’m having a section but still I’m nervous I’m literally scared I don’t feel prepared and it’s not my first baby. Also I got a toddler and lately we are so close so bonded and I’m already upset about leaving him home and me going to hospital and than coming home how I’m going to sit and play with him pick him up cuddle him 😩saddens my heart to think about it. Our life will change so much and I m scared from this big change.also I’m now not even sure if I want a section or go natural both scares me I know after section I will have a hard time to give time to my toddler but also I know if I go natural birth I might have same issues what I faced with my previous birth and that scares me too as my recovery took so many months and I was suffering😩I wish we just can skip this birth part and have the baby any other way 😩😩

I feel exactly the same I am c section not due to baby’s size and I have a toddler you can still have cuddles he can be next to you and you can have time with him xx

I feel the same too! I’m due my second in June and I find myself feeling so emotional laying next to my daughter whilst she sleeps! I don’t want to give birth either and I don’t want our bond to be effected! I think these are all such normal feelings as birth is a huge life event and when we have little people that we love and adore so much already in our lives it is scary to think about anything going wrong that means we have to be away from them for a period of time/not able to look after them properly/mentally traumatised 🫶🏼! I would advice speaking to your midwife about your concerns and potentially doing a hypnobirthing course to help you! This is what I’m planning to do to! Your not alone! Xx
