Dont worry, I'm still thinking the same things and I've done it before!

I'm worried about how I'll cope with a long labour as this is definately a bigger baby! help!

Ah yes - the pooping!

Hubby retches cleaning up after his parents dogs (from when he lived at home) and when my friend was over with her 11 month old girl, he left the room when she was changing a stinky nappy.

I'm not a fan of poop either, but I was just fine having the nappy changed in front of me.  It was just poop!  I think hubs needs to face his fears!  Ahhh ha ha!

As for labour though, so many people have said that the onset brings on a massive bout of the squits, so in all probability we'll all be empty by the time we get to the pushing stage, and anything that was left there would be quickly cleaned up by the midwife!

That said, I know hubby won't even dare go down to the business end!  He'll be too squeamish to watch my lady parts open up for a baby!

Vix - im exactly same, all i can think about is doin a poo infront of DH.

I know its been tlked about before and people say you dont care and dont notcie half time, but i honestly think i will be mortified lol

LOL   This is my first too and I keep having random thoughts.  My most scary one is doing a poo on the delivery table   Then I think, OMG, what if I can't do the breathing thing properly.  

Then, I have days where i am really positive.  Hopefully the day I go in to labour will be a positive day

I'm trying to keep that thought in my head too!

Yes it will be painful but then the pain will end and I'll have a baby boy from it all!

I just find I'm also starting o worry about silly things.  I'm panicking in case I throw up in the car on the way to hospital (I mean - what?!) and random things like that.

I'm sure when I'm contracting, I won't be thinking of anything else!

I'm just trying to not think about it all.  Take it as and when it (well, he) comes.  Meh.

Aw babe - you can do it!!!!

Ive started to feel this way the past few days - have been so chilled about the birth before this.

A few hours of pain for something wonderful seems like a good swop right?

How am I supposed to get this baby out of me?!

I'm seriously starting to have a panic now, trying not to lose control, trying to keep calm and think about how this is all natural and normal and blah blah blah.

But seriously.

How am I supposed to get a good half stone of child out of me? 

I'm not having any twinges, nothing is imminent except the due date (8th), but now I've started thinking about the labour and birth.  I can't do it!

Argh!

Eeeek!

I'm a first timer with all this, but I don't know if that makes it better or worse (think I'd proabbly feel worse if I knew what was going to happen!).

I can do this right?  I know he has to come out somehow...

Meh.
