I am on full terms now, going 37 weeks. I am so worry about everything. I scared that I can't handle this big responsible worry that I will not do well. I am scared of labour pain and going under knife(c-section). I don't know how to deal with the fear I am having. I even tell my husband that I wish my baby can be in my tummy don't come out. He reply you are so uncomfortable why not faster have him out and you will be more relax. I say I rather have all the hips/bone ache and sleepless night and frequently urine lo. The unknown labour pain is the one that I am so afraid of. I become very emo and wondering why only the women have to been through all this and not the husband. They still can say nvm don't worry, not pain, no need scared. Then why not they go through it also with us. Experience the pain and changes we have. I am so sad and even keep crying like a scary cat. My husband say I should not think too much. But I am the one going through all this sure will think alot.

Hi, i don't think i can totally relate to how you are feeling because i was a bit detached regarding my pregnancy and the parenthood. Mine was also a planned c-sect but in the end i had it 2 days before in 1 hr notice - that my hospital bag and husband also not with me until the last min before i get pushed in. It took me a long time to come to terms with the c-sect but medical standards are very high in singapore and it is actually the safest and most prepared way of giving birth and short duration or mummy. I was a bit kia-su so i ask for stronger pain killer and took it 2-3 days even though I didn't feel that much pain so u can also do likewise. I think you don't need to worry about the delivery because it is short, it will be over very soon and fast with so many other things during confinement and parenthood that will happen that you will be just washed away by the activities - no longer thinking about the delivery. As for the upcoming parenthood and how to handle, frankly, you can never be out prepared - know a little of some of the important things will do - like bathing baby and feeding baby - if you not sure, hospital durig your stay usually will have free classes hat you can go. I think tha tit is important for you to join a support group eg, october mummies or something like that (u can find on parent own etc) or even if u have friends with babies near in age aso can create a group for support - u will need it :) All the best. It isn't too tough really, especially a ew weeks after when u look back :)
