Everyone thinks I'm crazy.

I have done everything I can to stay away from the labor stories! I think that might be what has helped me. I knew myself well enough to know i couldn't handle it. I'm really sorry that happened.
The actual labor was the only thing I have never worried about lol
@🪷Faith🪷 I'm glad I'm not the only one. I have spent months stressed about everything, and now that I know baby girl is almost ready to meet us, it's just all excitement.
My induction started today and I genuinely feel like there’s only one way out of pregnancy so there’s no use being a ball of nerves… it’s happening. I totally get this.
Today I’m 39+2 I’ve been anxious for many weeks. I feel the same, ready for it to be over since 37 weeks.
I’m the same with GAD as well. I don’t think you’re crazy.
I actually look forward to labor and delivery. It’s like the finish line of a marathon, super hard but the best high once you cross the line and hold your baby. I don’t look forward to postpartum though 😅
The pain overrides my fear- the faster he’s out the faster I heal and get over the walks to the restrooms, tailbone pain and healing to hold my toddler more comfortably again 
I’m giving it to God at this point, I have terrible anxiety and adhd with obviously I’ve had to go unmedicated this whole time. I can’t think about it bc I’ll lose my mind, I just keep telling myself my body and my baby know what to do 🤷🏽♀️🙃
@lindsey It does!!!! Your sweet baby is going to come into this world, and it's going to be beautiful. We got this!!!
I was the same way with my first! I have GAD too. This time I’m nervous bc I made the mistake of joining a Facebook group where everyone has a triggering labor story to tell 🤦🏼♀️
