Getting closer to due date First baby!!

[shellmc]

Hiya all,

I just wanna say how im feeling at the moment to see if anyone else feels or felt the same.

I am 37 weeks 4 days pregnant and due on 21st may, i am very excited and cant wait to meet my baby and to hold her/him.
But deep down i am actually very very scare, not the fact ov aving the baby but going tru the labour and birth.
I keep thinking to myself what if something happens?? Wot if things go wrong?? What if i cant do it?? I know obv becoz i dont know wot to expect and its all gonna be new to me, that im thinking this, but i am scared.
I keep thinking that wen labour starts im not gonna cope and panic and wont beable to breath, i know this may sound really stupid and iv heard soo many people say u just know wen its time and ur body knows wot to do.
Did amyone else feel like this??? or am i just weird??

Love Shell and baby bump xxxx

Just to update you...
Scan showed baby in most awkward position possible - oblique breech and feet down. They admitted me there and then due to risk of cord prolapse if my waters go. Normally head (or bum if normal breech) would stop this. No option but to do a CS which they've just agreed to do tomorrow!!

Sorry to hear that ses. Big hugs to you and I hope all goes well tomorrow. Best of luck, will be thinking of you

Thanks! Bit nervous and excited all at once but can't wait! Will update when I can

Hope everything goes well for u tomorrow hun, update us wen u can.

Im sure ur in safe hands and u and baby will be fine xxxxx

Owen Edward Davis born by CS at 10.17am today weighing 8lb 9oz.

Wound quite sore and currently no stomach muscles but process v easy.

He has fed well - was on boob for about an hour after the birth! Had another 2 feeds since as well.

Not the natural labour I planned but in the circumstances, necessary and fine.

Hope you're all doing ok.

Well done, and congratulations! Make sure you get plently of rest and someone else to do the housework for the next few weeks!

CONGRATULATIONS hun!!!!
