I’m nervous guys 🫪

I’m due to have a baby soon and I’m honestly scared. Any advice on ways to handle the anxiety and pain? I bought a labor comb to squeeze some of the pain away. I know the pain is for a purpose so I’ll tell myself that! I have anxiety too so that helps 🥲

The pain is for a purpose ! And to put it into perspective, it's just gonna be 1 day maybe 2. You've been pregnant and having to deal with all kinds of pains and being uncomfortable for 9+ months ! And giving birth is just 1 day

There isn’t a way around the nerves, unfortunately. The first time you give birth is so scary even if you know what to expect, but trust you will get through it. And remember it is only going to be like 1-2 days max. You can do anything for a short period of time. ALSO, get the epidural. When it works it’s like magic. I think I would have perished without it personally lol

When did you have your baby?

Hey guys I’m currently 33 weeks. I was just wondering, when did you go into labor naturally?
At how many weeks?

Does it actually get better?

I’m in my first trimester and sickness is really hitting me hard. I’ve heard it gets better from your second trimester but at this point I don’t believe it!
Does it actually get better??

2 under 2

I am currently 32 weeks pregnant with my second child and I am afraid and I feel guilty my first child didn’t get as much time to be by herself. I know everyone says it’ll workout but any advice on making this transition easier is appreciated 🥲

Teeth

A portion of my front tooth just broke off and left me with a gap between my front teeth. I've always had perfectly good and straight, tight teeth so it has me feeling super depressed. This pregnancy has definitely ruined the strength of my teeth. Anyone else? 😭 Or have I been doing something wrong?
