Is anyone else scared for birth?

I was extremely terrified for birth but when I went into labour and was actually having contractions I was like let’s get this over with 😂 I found the anticipation for birth was what I was actually scared of because it was my first and I didn’t know what to expect.

Gosh I was so scared. I was booked for a c-section & cried everyday for the 2 weeks leading up to it. 😅 but it was actually an amazing experience. I feel that I'd look forward to my next birth ☺️

I was terrified! The anticipation was the worst part because I hit my pain tolerance limit at 8cm dilated and the midwives were convinced I wasn’t even at 4cm yet, so I was under the impression the pain was going to more than double! Turns out that was the worst it got to and if I had known that I probably wouldn’t have been so stressed in the moment

I was terrifird. The unknown is scary! I was induced so I knew baby was coming within a day or two after being induced. Contractions honestly not that bad. I ended up with an emergency c section. Now I was terrified but honestly they were all super duper lovely and didnt rush me deapite it being a cat 2

I was before I went into it because I had no idea, it’s the unknown.
But it was the most beautiful experience kinda addictive too😂

I was petrified, but it wasn’t as scary as I feared at all, just get it done type vibe. Typical of me though, 90% of what I get anxious about is totally manageable when actually doing it
