It's kind of a slow progression, you don't immediately get hit with a lot of pain when labor starts.
It starts with something like period cramps, and slowly over several hours it gets more intense. This slow progression makes it much more bearable and easier to handle.
Once you have to stop and breathe through contractions, you can go to the hospital and hopefully you're 4cm dilated and ask for an epidural as soon as possible. Then it's smooth sailing!
Epidural is amazing
Fearing or not the baby will have to come out, focus on the positives.
Yes you will feel discomfort and perhaps pain, but it does not mean you have to suffer!
Baby will be here soon, the more positive you think and put your mindset easier will be for your body to produce oxytocin and less suffering and pain you will feel, the more anxious and fearful you are the more adrenaline and pain you will feel
It looks like the baby is going to come at 41 weeks hopefully. Today 40 weeks and 2 days still no sign. Did an hour jumping on the bouncing ball for day 1 evacuation natural process

December moms- how are we really?
Use this post to scream into the void about any and all feelings you have.
Fun fact: there was a study done that shows many women feel worse at 9-10 months PP than 4-6!

Insecurity over belly piercing
I’m 35 weeks and just took my belly ring out and I feel like it looks so ugly ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ my belly button is only halfway popped out so my belly button and the 2 holes from the piercing are visible and I feel like it looks like 3 belly buttons 🥲 not the mention the hyperpigmentation.
I really hate looking at my belly now, which makes me sad! Has anyone else delt with this? I feel uglier the further along I get

Random anxiety
I’m currently 27 weeks pregnant and maybe 2-3 weeks ago I started getting random anxiety, kind of feels like that dreadful hangover anxiety but over absolutely nothing. Like there’s nothing I’m feeling anxious or sad about I just have this anxiety lingering and weird feeling of sadness. Anyone else had this??

I am 18 weeks pregnant tomorrow with twin girls. Feeling so deflated as still not feeling any sort of movements no flutters etc and just constantly feeling like something is wrong. I had bad anxiety with my first but it feels even worse
This time round. I havnt even got a proper bump either. Anyone felt like this and how did you deal with it?

Third baby or no third baby?!
I have a 5 year old girl and 10 month old boy. It took years to feel ready to have baby number 2 and now just 10 months on I feel desperate for another. We’d always planned to have 2 so I’m not sure where this feeling is coming from but it’s not going away! Has anyone had the same before? Did you go for number 3 or not in the end and any regrets either way? I’m in my mid thirties now so time is a consideration, and of course a third baby is in no way guaranteed, we feel so incredibly lucky to have our two babies, particularly as we battled some serious health issues in the process. Thanks for any thoughts 😊
