So Scared Of Labour Baby #3

[ohdearymemumof3]

Hello, Yeah I'm so scared of labour, I'm due on the 21st December with baby #3, everyone keeps saying "you have done it twice before!" .. yes.. i know.. but it doesn't make it any easier!!.
I hate not knowing when its going to happen, i hate the pain and the fact i can't use gas and air or anything because it makes me feel so sick, I'm scared of something going wrong, I'm scared because i keep getting told "the 3rd baby is always the worst labour".. just stressing so much! Anyone else in the same boat??x

I had a horrendous time first time around put me off, just had my second and had an even worse experience but I seem to handle it better recognise earlier and seemed to except meds better without sickness. Try not to worry just take it in your stride hun, your body will help you. X

I was my mum's 3rd baby and I was the quickest

I'll be having my 3rd section though which I am not looking forward to!

I'm the same no3 due end of January I had really painfull braxton hicks over the weekend legit thought I was in labour and I thought omg I can't do this again i forgot how much it actually hurts! But I will be fine and so will you.. Just think you will have your 3rd born with your before you know it

Ohh noo really🙈 iv not had braxton hicks i don't think? Not painful like that, i sometimes get the odd twinge and ache and think oh great theres a lot more of these coming my way🙄🙈😂.. yes I'm sure we will be ok just scary isn't it, I'm petrified tbh😫x

I had my third baby just over three weeks ago. Everyone kept telling me that third labours are the worst too, I can't understand why that would be but even the midwives said it!

I was induced with this one (spontaneous labours with the others) but it wasn't the worst. The first one was the worst and the second one was the best by miles. This one was only bad because it was back to back but I still only needed gas & air and I coped ok with the pain.

Word of warning - it was FAST. It took a while for labour to actually start following induction but once it did... I was examined at 4:04pm and was 4cm dilated, they broke my waters and the baby was born at 4:09pm, I'm not kidding, even the midwife was shocked! So don't hang about if you think things are happening..,

Yes soo many people have said the 3rd was the worst but they also said that might of been down to it being so fast!! Which im happy with! I want her out asap so i can get home to my other children and then the labour iv been dreading is done and forgotten and i have my baby girl in my arms❤

Congratulations on your little one🥰 xx
