I'm 36+4 with DC2, with DC1 i was induced and had a horrendous experience of childbirth. I was terrified throughout first pregnancy, this time though ive put thoughts of childbirth aside . . . Until now. Just started on mat leave and the panic has set in. I can't sleep. Imagining what lies ahead, I literally can't bear the thought of it. Thoughts of meeting our new bundle of joy are an impossibility, as the thought of being in hospital / the pain / the lack of dignity etc just make my heart race. Mentioned my fear to MW who said 'oh second time round is much better' that's it!
I need some positivity, I know this is a mind over matter situation so could you amassing women who look forward to the north / have overcome fears please share your positive vibes (and help me go to sleep without knots in my stomach)
