Hello All,
Hoping you lovely ladies will help me out...
For a while now I have been bursting into tears every time I think about labour.
I am starting my 36th week and this will be my second child.
DS is 2 and was born with forceps after a failed ventouse (had an epidural) and was 9lbs 3 ozs (I am 6ft though!!).
I lost blood and it was considered to be a PPH.
I had a doula and my DH was with me.
I cannot think of any particularly moment that was 'bad' or scary and was treated trally well by the midwives. At the time I thought i had a good experience despite the probs that I had - I considered these to me minor at the time as I had a healthy strapping DS !!!
Despite this I can not put my finger on why I am SO PERTRIFIED - really I can think of no other word to describe it.
I am having bad dreams about childbirth and last night I woke up crying..
I have had a really good pregnancy and I have no reason to suspect a bad birth,
Can someone please help to calm me down - I feel as though this fear is becoming slightly irrational.
Thanks
