I'm almost 37 weeks with #2 and it's starting to hit home now that she'll be here soon and I'll be going through labor and the newborn phase again. I'm really excited and can't wait for dd to be born, but am getting nervous! SO, I thought it might be interesting to start a little thread where we can vent some of our concerns about labor, delivery or motherhood and have some other women to relate with!

Ok, so my big worries right now are that something will go wrong, I won't be able to handle the pain, I won't be able to get her to b___stfeed right, my son will have a hard adjustment (he's one) and that I'll forget my bags at home while trying to remember everything my son will need to stay with my folks while dh and I are in the hospital. I keep having dreams where I've practically packed the house for my son's 1-2 night sleepover and have not brought so much as a hair tie for myself! :) What are your fears or "weird worries"?

I'm starting to get worried that this pain I'm having in my mouth right now won't go away before baby gets here and I won't be able to handle it. It hurts so bad and I can't imagine it being like this much longer. I'll be begging my dr to induce me if it is so that way I can take the medications to make it stop. OMG.... Anyways, other than that I'm just nervous about being cut down there! EEK

i am 34 weeks 4 days and at first i obsessed over the pain labour is going to cause and getting ripped in half while pushing, but now im so uncomfortable i just want to give birth! even if i rip in half lol! i think it helps if you think that the pain will go away once you have given birth, it wont last forever.........i also fear about soemthing going wrong.........like while giving birth something happening to my baby ect but i think they are all natrual fears and there is nothing we can do to stop it! we are female we will be fine lol

Do you guys have crazy dreams? In my dreams I'm always leaving one of the kids in the supermarket by accident or their bags or food or something. I think it's because I'm a pretty conscientious person and like having my ducks in a row. I panic thinking that I won't be able to keep it all together with two so close in age! :) Honestly though, I am so excited and can't wait! I feel unprepared at times, but I don't have the free evenings to work on baby things or reorganize my hospital bag like I did when I was pregnant with ds. My little guy manages to keep me quite busy- I'm just happy when I have uninterrupted potty breaks! :) How close are you all to your due dates? I'm due the 1st, so we're getting there fast! Flybear, sorry your mouth hurts; I hope it goes away soon! Angelmonkey, it does help to know that it won't last forever and trust me, as soon as you're holding your baby it will ALL be worth it in a second! As to the pain, tell yourself "I am woman-hear me roar!" :) Every labor affects women differently. My worst struggle was dilating 2-6 and the nurses were shocked when I was about 8 1/2 cm and cracking jokes at myself and laughing. The laughing only lasted about 1/2 a cm longer though. :)

Oh gosh I am a worry freak it these days. I am 31 weeks and I am worried about him getting here safe and sound (I have had 5 mc's so that's why I am freaked out about that). I am worried about after the birth as with my son (now 7) I had really bad postpartum and that scares me!! so I am trying to be as organized as I possibly can so that I can relax more after the birth. The delivery and pain do not worry me at all, I have no fears about that. I just want this little miracle of mine to be okay and safe in my arms.
