Hi ladies,
Been mulling over posting this for a while as I know I will be fine afterwards but its starting to intefere with me enjoying my pregnancy.
Im terrified of giving birth. I am 15 weeks today and I am a size 18 with a BMI of 35 meaning I am high risk. Please dont lecture me on my weight because it wasnt a plan to get pregnant whilst being big but it happened and now thats that.
I am worried a, my body wont cope with the pain. B, my body physically wont be able to give birth to my baby. Irrational I know but theres also things I think about that worries me also. I want a relaxing birth and do not want to to start the whole thing panicky.
I plan on doing pre natal yoga and researching hypno birthing just to make me feel a little more relaxed but what I really am after is some positive stories to make me feel a bit better especially from bigger ladies like me.
This is me at the moment, already huge!!
