were you more anxious about the next one or less anxious?

It just really hit me today that I'm going to have to do it all over again. My first delivery was less than desirable. At the end of the day, I had a big healthy baby boy but everything leading up to that was just really bad. Now I'm having anxiety about this time. I am praying that this time everything will go better, but all I really want is to be holding a healthy baby girl in my arms.

I dunno it either hasnt hit me yet or I'm super calm about it. thats yet to be determined lol

Although I'm not pregnant I'm very excited about my next delivery. My labor and delivery was great but there are so many things I would want to do the next time around.

I had horrible anxiety all throughout my second pregnancy. About 20 minutes before I went in for my second c-section, I had a panic attack. I was crying and yelling and they had to hold me down to get a BP reading because I was shaking so bad. Everything actually ended up being better than the first delivery, though.

That's what I'm afraid of lol

I'm hoping that it ends up better this time.

Are you having a c-section?

Quoting Kells.:" Are you having a c-section?"

No, but last time I begged for one. Long story short, the anesthesiologist was on a power trip that day. I'm very petite and my son was nearly 9 1/2 lbs, all along I was told I would have the epi, but then he denied it. There's a lot more that went on that day but I am going to grill my new OB about my birth plan this time for sure.

I was just as excited if not more with my second. I knew what to expect and knew what I wanted. I was so anxious to have a delivery that I was in control of.

I was terrified that I would not make it to the hospital to deliver, totally relieved when they decided to induce, and completely at ease with my delivery.

It was short and calm and simple and went exactly the way I wanted. If I ever decide to have another I know I will not be anxious at all.

In a way, I feel better just bc I know what to expect this time, and I know I can do it. But last time I just felt so out of control, and I'm scared I am going to have some sort of break down at the hospital this time if they start changing everything we had discussed. I just want to feel like I have the tiniest bit of control this time. The best part of my last delivery was when it was time to push bc then I finally was in control.
