im pregnant for the first time. i am 33 weeks into my pregnancy and getting really nervous about delivery im not really sure what to expect and its driving me nuts i get very emotional because of it and my husband doesnt understand it seems like he gets irritated when i say im nervous and i get really emotional and he just brushes it off and says there is no reason to be nervous. hello its my first time im going to be nervous any advice on how to calm my nerves
Breathing is good. Some people find as much information about the process to be helpful, but others might find that overwhelming. Hopefully you have an obgyn that you feel confident in or the place you are giving birth or the people who will be helping you give birth. It is only natural to be nervous until you are giving labor or until you have your baby in your arms safe and sound. Your husband is probably just as nervous and is trying to be strong for you.
Your nerves are normal. It's largely because, unlike women from the past, you have not been with women through the process of their labour and delivery... so you have no idea what the range of 'normal' is at all.
i agree, congrats. keep us posted
Quoting TigerofMu:
I would talk to your doctor, make a birth plan, learn as much as you can about what's going to happen. It's a bit scary, and you have the right to be nervous. *hugs* Being prepared and knowing that I've done everything I can usually helps me, but there are some things that are out of your control, and you just need to relax.
Too young for "the talk"????
