hi guys
I am 19 weeks pregnant and this is my first baby.
I am so scared of labour. even now i am thinking of it and i feel so stressed out and scared.
is this normal or i am over reacting.
please share your experiences and any ideas what should i do to be fully prepared
firstly, the best advice i received is not to be scared. your body is built for labour and women for thousands of years have gone through it. the mind-body connection is strong... if you're filled with fear and anxiety, you might take longer to dilate, contractions will hurt more, and pushing will be harder. secondly, don't read or listen to anybody's labour horror stories, they do nothing to help you out. instead, seek out good and healthy labour stories from women who had positive experiences with natural labour, and think if they can do it, then so can you. there are books about this or you can look on the internet. and if worse comes to worse, you could ask for an epidural.
just relax and know that Allah swt would not never put us through something we could not bear.
hubby and i are in our planning stages... we're trying to "time" the birth as much as we can... hopefully it works out well!
LOL This planning shanning doesnt really work ... but good luck and tell us if you get it at your time .... i am afraid i will having mines when I have to give an important exam.

i knooowwww... its difficult cos i'm not even sure when to go off the pill- some people say three months before, some say a year before... its so complicated! iA the baby will be a summer (july) baby so my mom can come and be with me. but we're thinking summer 2010 so lets see.... :)

For july 2010 u will have to try Oct-Nov 2009! u know just to be on the safe side, go off the pills one year before, so that ur body can adjust to the no pills and just use some other method well i dont have to tell u what it can be ... and when u want to have the baby, give it a 3 month try .. u might not get exactually the date/month u want, but u might get close enough.

I was told by the gyn that after quiting the pill, wait for a month , have one normal cycle of period and then try to get pregnant. Usually it takes a month for the harmones to go back to normal.
BTW, my friend got pregnant in Sept and had the baby in first week of July.
Good Luck, I am pretty sure your baby will be so cute and adorable.
she was pregnant and I didn't even know....congrats to Mrs Shikra! How did everything go???
Yes, we were expecting but we chose to keep it a surprise for everyone (except family members, of course). But Alhamdulillah everything went well.
If anyone has any questions, feel free to PM them to mrs. shikra or directly to me because she doesn't log in as much. I can always get the answers from her and PM back or at least tell her that she has a PM waiting for her in her account.
I had my baby on 8/30/08 and mashallah everything went well. Labor and Delivery experience was an eye opener and painful, but mashallah it is over with. But now I have no time for anything, very busy with the baby.
awwwwwwww MashAllah may Allah bless her with a long n properous life n may she grow up to b naik, @baby
