i am now 35 weeks with my second DD, i had a good labour with my first, in a maternity unit with G&A, tens, water and finally a small dose of pethidine,lasted ten hours altogether, howver right at the end DD went into distress and they told me i wasnt pushing properly it was all a mad rush but i managed to push her out in the end.
i felt fine about this second labour until just recently. i have started thinking what if this baby is bigger and i could only just push DD1 out the first time. I seem to have lost all confidence in myself in regards to labour and now the thought of it makes me feel really panicky. not sure why i feel like this because lots of people say after your first the second labour is better, quicker, and you know what to expect. anyone else due their second and feeling the same or is this some mad hormone thing?
