I'm getting closer to my due date.....

Hey... I just wanted to say that I'm getting closer to time and i'm getting more nervous and scared. I'm 32 weeks, almost 8 months and I don't know what to do. I'm trying to take birth classes but i'm having a hard time finding some in my area. I think the scarest part about having this child is the pain. I can't handle pain all that well. I just turned 17 this month on the 11th and my baby is due in April. Its a girl and her name is gonna be Arianna Marie Hernandez. I'm half white and korean and the dads half white and Mexican. So.... LOL If any1 has any advice please let me know. I get loney because I don't have much people to talk to. So if any1 wants to talk...I'm here, My email is Prego1690@yahoo.com If any1 wants to hit me up there. Thanx

Hey

IM 21 NOW AND I HAD MY LITTLE GIRL 3 YEARS AGO AND I WAS TERRIFIED. I ENDED UP HAVIN 2 BE ENDUCED WITCH WASNT A LOT OF FUN BUT AT LEAST IT STARTED IT OF... IAM A TOTAL WIMP WHEN IT COMES 2 PAIN, & NEEDLES SO WHEN THE PAIN STARTED I HAD 2 TAKE THE GAS AND AIR. JUST 1 TRICK 4 THAT STUFF IS... THE DOCTER WILL TELL U 2 BREATH IT IN THROUGH TH MOUTH AND OUT THE MOUTH, OH NO NO, U BREATH IT IN THE MOUTH AND OUT THE NOSE IT GOES STRAIGHT 2 YER HEAD AND MAKES U FEEL LIKE YER DRUNK WITCH TAKES A BIT OF THE PAIN AWAY AND U KIND OF FORGET YER IN THE MIDDLE OF GIVING BIRTH. IF THAT DOESNT WORK AND YER NOT A NEEDLE FOBE THEN ASK 4 AN EPIDURAL TOTALY TAKES THE PAIN AWAY U DONT FEEL A THING, THE ONLY PROB WITH THAT IS U CANT FEEL UR CONTRACTIONS WITCH CAN BE A PROB. HOPE ALL GOES WELL ANYWAY. GOOOD LUCK

Hi

hi!!it is scary isnt it? very exciting-but still scary! i think what gets most of us through the pain is knowing its not going to last forever!!by the time its getting really serious-you know you are not far from holding your beautiful baby in your arms. i was only a couple of years older than you when i had my daughter-that was a long time ago!-but i remember so clearly the mix of wonder,the oh my god i dont know what to do now, and the incredible love-it was a steep learning curve-not so much the physical looking after-babies needs are fairly simple-really becoming a mother-beyond giving birth-really thats the easy part!!all i can suggest is every time you meet someone whose kids are lovely to be around and they seem to really enjoy being with their kids-learn as much as you can from them!!!nobody will mind what you ask if you start by telling them how wonderful their kids are!!! by the way-same deal with the birth classes-ask someone who has had a few-not someone who is a real drama queen-you dont want the horror stories-if you cant get to many classes at least you will have more idea what to expect-although of course every birth is different-the more you know the easier it is to relax and recognise the stages of labour-work with it dont fight it-you cant win!!!the staff in labour wards are generally fantastic-they have a great job bringing babies into the world-they will be a great support-i hope it all goes reallly well for you best of luck for your future with your beautiful daughter g xxx
