*hugs* I was afraid too until I actually went through it. Pushing with the epi is heaven. I was falling asleep between pushes because I was so tired - that's how pain free it was. The most painful part of it was when the doc made me hold when he crowned so it would minimize tearing, oh and the headache I was giving myself from holding my breath with the pushes and bearing down. You'll do great!

Death but I have a dumb thing with death it really freaks me out even when I think about dying in old age it freaks me out. Lately it centers around the baby. I freak out about leaving her to be raised without me, dh's parents would probably step in and help and it scares me to think that people may drop of out of my kids life like they dropped out of mine even though they were close with my mom and dad.
Sorry that was probably a little too deep for this early.
*hugs*
Thanks Tarah. I'm not freaking out or anything, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared. It's just the not knowing what will happen that is the hard part!
This. *Tarah* your reply made me feel a little better though!
Oh I understand! I thought I would burst into tears when I was going into labor. That never happened though because I ended up induced and I think that helped me prepare better. It's scary and a million thoughts run through your head before it's time. I remember! But when you're there & in the middle of it - as long as that baby is healthy nothing else matters.
You girls will all do wonderful and have beautiful little babies to show off - and I swear it's amazing how quickly the memory of the pain vanishes and seems "not so bad" once you have that baby in your arms.
pooks, our similarities are becoming frightening!!
I am afraid of dying, changing jobs, not having enough money for babies (mainly daycare), my puppy dying.
Still waiting for that memory to fade away
I guess a failed epi leaves a lasting impression! But it's not that bad, being I plan to do it again, it must be worth it!!
The machine shut down on me twice after they administered it - that pain was horrible. Once they fixed it and the epi took hold life was bliss, I'm glad I didn't have to push without it.
I remembered that about us. I tried talking about it with dh once (when I was having a weird couple of days) and he just said by the time he is old nothing will be working anymore and he will be glad to go. He got this from me
. I want to live forever. LOL
I am still irrationally worried that one of these times I will go to the doctor and there won't be a heartbeat. Everything has been going wonderfully this pregnancy, which is why it is irrational.
This. I worry every.single.day he's at work.
A+S | Met 8/24/06 | Married 9/27/08
Started TTC 12/2008 | dx PCOS 5/2009
6 failed clomid/femara/TI cycles, 1 failed clomid/ovidrel/IUI cycle

? 2/13/12 - We proudly welcomed our daughter, Hadley Teresa! ?
? Lots of Luck to all of 3T/IF ?
losing DH, my mom, brother, sister or any other family member that is under the age of 60. Losing my dad who was only 54 really sucked big time but the fact that he was so young made it even harder I think. Losing any family member period sucks, but when it's unexpected or when it's waaaaaay to early in life, it sucks even more.
Also, I fear losing my job, house and any other financial security. I've watched the world sh*t on my parents twice now (once when my dad was alive & now again with my mom) and its so scary. Giving up or selling a house is one thing, but losing it because of financial struggles that are out of your control is hard to take....doing it twice in one lifetime is just awful.
wow that was deep.
