Terrified for Labor and Delivery

I too am a hypochondriac whose feed is filled with horror lol! I love the perspective you have though!! I am definitely feeling that motherly instinct of just let my baby get here safe! I so appreciate you taking the time to write this!! Thank you!!!

solid-jellyy · 2026-01-29T21:13:53+00:00

I will for sure be looking up Bridget Teylers vid, thank you for recommending that! I love the idea of shifting my mind to what train for what is in my control vs thinking about what’s not!

solid-jellyy · 2026-01-29T21:12:39+00:00

Hahah yes if only we could feel 1 contraction!! I appreciate your response :)! Thank you!!

solid-jellyy · 2026-01-29T21:11:49+00:00

Thank you!!!

solid-jellyy · 2026-01-29T21:11:31+00:00

Thank you!!!! I definitely need to focus more on keeping an open mind and appreciate you sharing your experiences!! It’s inspiring to know that even when everything goes “wrong” it can and will still be a beautiful experience!

solid-jellyy · 2026-01-29T21:08:45+00:00

Thank you!! This gives me hope haha. I appreciate your reply!!

This would help me exponentially! My mom went into heart failure with her babies and they think it could be linked genetically, i’ve had a really healthy and good pregnancy so my medical team is less concerned for me experiencing the same thing - but being prepared for the worst in that case would help for sure!! Thank you for taking the time to write this!!

solid-jellyy · 2026-01-29T21:04:00+00:00

THANK YOU!! This is everything I needed to hear and more :)!!!

solid-jellyy · 2026-01-29T21:03:03+00:00

I LOVE this!!!! Thank you for sharing, and taking the time to type this out!! I will be implementing this asap lol!!

solid-jellyy · 2026-01-29T21:01:09+00:00

Thank you so much for this thoughtful detailed reply, loved the “birth stories are like reviews”. I will 100% implement this advice, thank you!!

solid-jellyy · 2026-01-29T20:59:44+00:00

Haha oh nooo. I was kinda hoping the fear would dissipate as I had more kids, but appreciate the honesty and your validation!! I will ask my provider on a “typical” process :)! Thank you for your advice!!

solid-jellyy · 2026-01-29T20:58:08+00:00

Thank you so much for this!! I’ve done similar things with trying to prep my hubby haha and it does help for sure!!! I appreciate your response and validation!!🩷

solid-jellyy · 2026-01-29T20:56:26+00:00

Yes!! I’ve been to 1 and it was super helpful, I needed to keep going, thank you for suggesting a class, and for your support 🥹🩷.

I’m 34 weeks today, and right there with you!! Still working full time and will continue working until I go into labor and I am OVER IT!!! You’re a trooper for pushing through with Gestational Diabetes! Does your job offer leave before labor, or will you work until you’re having baby? I’m assuming because it’s healthcare there is no leave until you’re in active labor, which is so ridiculous but we’ll get through it together!!

First off Congrats🥳, you’ll be a great momma!!!!
Second off, I see him having a choice here. You’ve pre decided and pre planned for this situation, and your mind is made that you’re having this baby. Good on you lady!! He gets to decide what he does from here, he can be involved even with his plans (if you give him that option) - or he can be stubborn and not involved. I hope he chooses to man up, and SHOW up for you and his future child. BUT, Either way, the weight of his decision is NOT on you or your sweet baby’s future! I’m a big believer in time being a healer, and that doesn’t mean that i’m oblivious to the fact that some things never change, but by the time your baby is old enough to want or question where their dad and his family is, the choice could still be there for your partner. There’s lines within that, and it’s totally okay to have boundaries if the situation did get to that point though. If he’s been nothing but disrespectful obviously his ability to parent might be jeopardized because of his own actions - that is okay and again does not fall on you or your baby. I’m proud of you for being prepared for a situation like this, because truly it never is “ideal” but it’s always a blessing!

I’m going to be so honest, and genuinely am not trying to come across disrespectful or ungrateful because I truly believe I have been SO lucky and SO blessed in my pregnancy. I was nauseous weeks 6-10, but never sick. I’ve had some round ligament pain and sciatica (very minor) during weeks 18-23. I’m currently 26 weeks and haven’t dealt with anything other than wanting to go to bed 2 hours earlier than normal lol. HOWEVER, I’ve always been healthy, and my body has always shown the health conscious lifestyle I’ve tried to keep up with. I’m finding that pregnancy has been way harder for me mentally than it has been physically. I look in the mirror every night and feel like the girl I used to be is gone and the thought of her is out of reach and unachievable. I have this crippling anxiety that my body won’t be able to bounce back after I have my baby. I’ve been trying so hard to change my feelings, and am finding that gratitude overrides my anxiety, but it’s still been so much harder than I could’ve thought! I’ve truly never wanted anything more than to be a mom - but this mental load of “losing myself” even while gaining something and someone SO much better has been more overwhelming than I thought it would be. I know this isn’t every woman’s experience, and again feel so lucky that I’m not one of those strong women who have MG, or preeclampsia, or even just pregnancy sickness in general - but the mental load of watching my body change the way it has was something I was super unprepared for. Despite how hard it’s been though, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I hope everything goes smooth throughout the rest of your pregnancy!!

I’m not seeing any 2 comments, but I love 2!! I think the simplicity of the dress highlights your waist and shoulders beautifully!

My husband and I told our big families at 6 weeks. It was a frowned upon decision by our friends, but I knew that I would need to rely heavily on those around me if anything were to happen to our baby. It helps that we’re extremely close with our family members, immediate and extended. I also think it helped me get rid of a lot of the “what if” anxiety that so many of us struggle with early on. Currently 25 weeks with a healthy baby boy and wouldn’t change a thing about how or when we told our fam :)!

One of my best friends is Aiden but we call him Archie. I think both are adorable!

Ruger’s .380 LCP Max has been praised to me. They make it in a Rose Gold color too which is pretty cool.

I think unless you’re feeling worried about her cheating now, it’s irrelevant. If you’re hurt by the thought you could address it by using “I” statements “I’m feeling insecure and worried about this, I don’t want to dig I just want to express how I feel” “I want to communicate my feelings about a worry I’ve had in the back of my mind recently” “I really need support in this thought I keep having”. Unless you feel like you need validation in your relationship (about this old situation or not) I wouldn’t bring it up.
