Okay my little boy, kaiden carter drybrough, is due in just a few days! im so anxious and ready. at 33 weeks i had some really bad back pain and had to be checked out to see if i was having preterm labor. i was having some minor contractions but it ended up being a UTI. Now im in my 39th week and i keep having some cramps off and on and i think i lost my mucus plug but i feel like its all just a tease. I am really excited about my birth. well, im just ready to have him in my arms. I am planning a natural vaginal birth. everyone says i will have to have the meds and wont be able to do it without them but women gave birth forever without the meds and i believe i can. Ive taken a birth class and am having a doula. I know it will be hard and it will hurt, but its a healthy normal pain and its called labor for a reason! I just feel like its never going to happen! i mean i know i dont have much longer but it just seems like forever! its making me crazy! i have had some back pains and my stomach keeps tightening and i cant relax it so i know my body is getting ready but i cant help but get excited when i feel these things and nothing happens.
i try to relax and know it will happen soon but its hard. i cant wait for my son to get here and waiting another day just feels like its going to kill me. does anyone have any advice on labor .. or if they had a natural childbirth? i would love to hear it.
help me calm my nerves,
young anxious mother.
