Scared of birth and the life after

Im currently 36 weeks and i believe altho my edd is in 4 weeks time, i can still give birth anytime from now. However i cant help but to feel scared of giving birth. I know the pain will be beyond words. And im scared of the life after having a baby as i heard its very traumatising especially the first few months. 😭😭 My husband cant wait for the baby to arrive but i believe husbands wont really know what we will be going through. I do want the baby to come fast but i feel like also not ready for the heavy responsibility and commitment. If you get what i mean. How do i think positive and look at the brighter side 🫠 #FTM

Don’t overthink on what’s ahead of you, take one step at a time. I was so stressed about the pain of giving birth but turns out it didn’t hurt at all for me so all my tears and worries are wasted 😂. The traumatising part during postpartum was the lack of sleep due to breastfeeding, pain from mastitis and not understanding what the baby is crying for.This is where any help (especially your husband) is needed, they can help to offload night feeds to let you rest and have your sanity. It is totally normal to feel frustrated, especially when you don’t have enough sleep. Breastfeeding I am a low supply mum so I struggled as I wanna quickly transit baby to full bm. I slowly let go and watch my show during pumping, drink more water and take more supplements and my supply slowly went up. So if you intend to bf/pump, don’t stress. Mixed feeding is fine too! Trust yourself, step by step, day by day. You’ll be able to understand baby’s cries and needs, accompany them to grow and achieve milestones. It will get easier and realize it’s actually the same routine everyday. You’ve got this! 😊💪🏻
