Oh, I am so scared of pushing this baby out!

[TotorosOcarina]

Labour, I can handle, its just the actual baby coming out bit.

It hurts so much and is so scary, and I feel like I have no control and I always panic!

Urghhhh :(

But it is the last bit....try and think of it and meaning the end of all the pain ifkwim. Ignorance is bliss though, it's awful knowing what is feels like. When are you due? Good luck

In 9 weeks.

Its my 4th so I'm hoping it'll fall out

My waters never break though so i have this massive bag of pressure and my babies have big heads

I've had a 9lb 15oz'er and a 10pm 6 oz'er, both big heads. I tell dh that if we go again we are finding a jockey to act as sperm donor...

Try and get an epidural?

I have home births Sue :)

so please tell me, by 3rd, do you still tear?

I love homebirths :)though I've only had 1 so far.

I tore with my 1st he was 9lbs.

nothing with DS2 - was born in water, 7lbs 11

and DD was 8lb5 and on 'dryland' and had grazing.

I too am crapping myself. I have longer to keep getting the sleepless nights worrying though.
I'm sure it will be fine, just take each bit as it comes etc....

ooh Im hopeful then. My first was nearly 11 lbs and I had 2nd degree tear. Im keen on another but not keen on a) tearing again b) having another toddler size baby.
