Were you scared that you didnt know when things happen...Like the mucus plug, and all this other stuff?

I was scared I wouldnt know, but when things happened I knew what was going on.

I am scared to death..

Oh I freaked out!!!

I didnt know ANYTHING to expect really, and even though people told me about THEIR experiences, I knew that it was different with everyone.

I didnt really start to get nervous until I had my first false labor pains though. I FREAKED when I had those!! I didnt say anything to anyone for like a half an hour, then they noticed that I was crying and freaked out, then I freaked out even more, and I wouldnt even let Toby call the doc! :lol

The mucus plug kinda scared me. I knew that I had started to lose it (in pieces) but I didnt expect to lose the rest of it when I did, so I SCREAMED for Toby and didnt know what to do! :lmao

Lets seeee......
I started to cry when they told me they wanted to strip my membranes, I cried when I was told that I MIGHT have pre-e and I bawled my ass off when they told me that I definitely DID have pre-e and was scared to death of the cathater :giggle Even more so than the epi!!!

I am a drama queen though, so I tend to overreact ;)

heck yeah I was :yes

I cry about things all the time, and I always expect him to have the answers LOL

I am so scared. I didnt want to read any of the parenting books...they scare me also...Because then I felt if my baby didnt fit what they were talking about then Id worry all the time.

same here :yes I stopped reading them in the beginning of my 2nd trimester because I kept comparing my pregnancy to all my other pregnant friends (we were all pregnant within a week or two of each other)

I was scared to death. I was constantly online searching for info making sure everything was "normal". I started having preterm labor at 29 weeks so that didnt help. Then when I did go in because ds wasnt moving much and i "just knew" something wasnt right they were gonna send me home, but right before his heart rate dropped and i ended up being induced.

So when something is going on "you just know" its part of being a mom i geuss

I was terrified that I wouldn't know what real labor was.. that i wouldn't know what my water breaking would feel like. it's totally natural. and as they say, when it happens you will know. :hugs

Thanks rose!

I just hope I dont mess up!

I'm right there w/ ya... I worry all the time now that I'm getting closer... I'm constantly wanting to know what's "normal" and if I'm doing everything right, etc... :hugs

Nope. I was totally chill the 1st time. It was the THIRD that I was freaking out because I was not planning on getting pregnant.

not really..I just knew he wasn't going to come on his own lol. I knew he was gong to hard headed.

ya know... this is my SECOND and i STILL wonder IF i'll know when i go into labor LOL

i won't read those books, though... i figure MY life isn't like anyone else's and thus reading them will only frustrate or scare me :rofl

People look at me like im dumb or stupid because i dont have 120000000000 baby books...I didnt want to do it by books...

I was really nervous once it got down to the last couple of weeks!

I was terrified.. we'd tried for a year to have her, so it almost felt like it would never happen.. when it did I was freaked out by every new thing.

I was scared, I even had a labour scare at 32 weeks, I got a tear in my sack, but it mended itself I would have dreams all the time that it was like x-files and the baby was just going to burst out of mu stomach. And you're pregnant, cry as much as you want, you have an excuse.

With my 1st I was scared but I had to be induced 12 days late then with my dughter I wasn't to scared because she came 10 days early so I didn't think but about it, but when she did come everything I read was wrong i had all the signs of false labor and I had her in less than 2 hours. This time I am so scared because I don't know if I will know if I am in labor like last time. I am just glad i am about 5minutes from the hospital.

I was scared about going into labor and not knowing the difference etc. But, my water broke so I didn't have to worry about that. And I never lost my mucus plug well that I knew about anyways.
But, yes, I was scared. Heck, I am scared to have another one.

i was scared then and i'm scared now.

I didn't get close enough with Madison to get scared honestly but with Hayden I got really nervous that I wouldn't know what to do when the time came or that I wouldn't know when the time was :lol It was all fine.

I don't think I was scared. It was more the fear of the unknown. I was wondering if I would know what a contraction felt like, or how it would feel to push, if I would push the wrong way :lol...stuff like that. I was really into reading my "What to Expect when you're expecting" and other pregnancy books, and I asked a lot of question to my doctor and even my mom (she's a nurse). It's natural to be apprehensive and scared, but don't let it take over. We women are built with the internal motherly instinct, and your body will know what to do when you go into labor. It's like a switch that automatically turns on ;)
