Birth Anxiety

Good morning all! I am 26 weeks and currently have been having a lot more anxiety about birth! I’m not sure if I should remove social media from my phone as it’s not really helping. I am getting to the point where I’m absolutely stressing over vaginal or c section. If anyone is going through this would love the support or any recommendations.

Happy Friday everyone 🌻💙

Hello! At 27 weeks also expecting my first! I'm pretty settled on my first choice birth plan being a planned c-section but am stressing about "what if baby comes early?!?" the main reason for a planned c-section is to avoid an emergency c-section, but switching to my second choice being a vaginal birth is a big change and makes me feel like I'm behind since I haven't really taken classes for that 😬 Happy to message if you want

Advice Please 🙏

My planned section is a week today!

Now leading up to this my anxiety has been hell on earth. My first was a planned and was amazing. So I’m having another planned but worried I go early and don’t get my section. I’ve a lot of health anxiety struggles from my past and had a miscarriage before.

Question - how on earth do I get from now until next Friday without over analysing every single symptom because it feels like a lifetime away.

Excited but so unbelievably nervous, and every sensation in my body I think is this it am I in labour? 🫣🫣🫣 just want him here safely.
