Did anyone else not worry about being pregnant/giving birth/having a baby?

Question

Everyone I've spoken to about it seems to have had some form of anxiety over being pregnant/ giving birth or looking after the baby.

I honestly didn't worry at all.

I had an easy pregnancy, a long labour, my daughter was a breeze to look after, and I didn't worry about a thing.

Did anyone else not have any little worries at all?

Answer 1

Hi I am 38 weeks today and Im not worried about giving birth, I am more excited about it and want to have my baby here etc, but I have been worried all the way through my pregnancy about my baby and how he is doing inside me and mostly worrying about if there is anything wrong with him etc, but everything is fine or not etc and everything bad I hear I was worring about it happening to my baby etc, but as for labour, and looking after him once he is hear im not worried at all, as for not being worried in labour its something I have to experiacne for myself, no matter of the horror stories I have heard I dont take it in as for one thing I will find out myself and everyone feels pain differently etc.

I think its probably better not to be worried or nervous in labour as it probably makes labour more easy, as I am yet experiacne labour when I do I am going to keep as calm as possible, I probably wont be but still fingers crossed my little man will be here soon,

Answer 2

I was 21 when I became pregnant (planned) and though I was surprised I became pregnant so soon, I wasn't worried.  I had a great pregnancy - thoroughly enjoyed it.  Though I read baby magazines/books I never really thought about having a baby in the context of 'oh my god, how am I going to cope?' as it seems a lot of people do, I just thought 'wow, i can't wait til my baby is here.'  I had an awful long painful labour, but had never worried about it before hand, and as soon as it was done I would've done it all over again, in a weird kinda way I enjoyed it!  I had planned to breastfeed, in the first few days she wouldn't latch properly and so my nipples were sore and bleeding when she fed but she was gaining weight so i continued figuring they'd get used to it, and they did.  My daughter is now 11 months and so chilled out, I think my attitude of not worrying about things has rubbed off.  It's definitely the way to be!

Answer 3

I had my first son aged 24 and didnt worry at all...i was actually excited!! We fell pregnant again when bub was 6 months old with twins!! what a shock, i initially worried how i would cope but i didnt have time to worry. In fact I decided on having a natural birth and did so to healthy boy/girl twins 6 months ago. I even carried them till 40 weeks looking after a 15 month old!! I am coping just fine with 3 under 2 years old and would have another anyday...but have decided 3 is enough!!!

Answer 4

I dont know I worried alot and still do my son is one years old now and I still worry something could happen.. but when I was pregnant it was a easy pregnancy but I hated it and I was just scared of giving birth but it went great and I wasnt worried anymore but I do tend to worry about something happening from time to time so i guess i cant say I DONT worry I am a over protective mother I guess..  

Answer 5

I'm not worried about the rest of my pregnancy, I'm really not too worried about giving birth (other than getting an epidural, because I hate needles).

But I am worried about having to take care of such a fragile child, who will rely on me for everything.

It doesn't consume me though, just once in a while I start to feel a little nervous.

Answer 6

With my oldest my situation was the same as your's... My second I started to panick because I didnt know how I was going to cope with 2 kids under 2.. I'm on my 3rd now and I'm still worrying about how I'm going to cope with3 kids under 5 and on my own...

I have to think positive that we'll get through this together.. i guess...  

Answer 7

i was worried a lot about giving birth and being a mom.

Answer 8

Well I didn't worry about the births as I knew what I had to do and just got on with it, or anything else, the only thing I worry about is when they are older, keeping them on the right track, and hoping that they still like me:)
