Feeling anxious

I feel silly for posting this but I'm just feeling a little anxious about labour and birth, on and off! This is my 2nd baby and I was induced the first time. Id really love a natural labour this time but every twinge makes me feel a little on edge instead of excited. I did hypno birthing with my first and feel I can control my breathing etc which helps but can anyone share any positive birth stories / words / quotes / tips etc that I can revert back to when I have an anxious spell? Im sure others could benefit from this too. Thank you! 😊

I don't think it's silly to feel anxious! It's a big deal! You already know you'll get through it, but that's usually my focus - this will end, and then I'll meet my baby. I was also induced the 1st time and went into labour naturally the 2nd time, and the good news is it was much much easier. Still, you know, childbirth 😂 but so much easier. You'll get through this, and then you'll meet your baby!

Thanks ladies! @Gabi I think I follow those pages but I'll take another look! @Rachel you're so right. I keep trying to visualize him just being here 💙 I think I possibly had a more traumatic first labour than I realised and I've just brushed it off until I'm having to go through it again if that makes sense? It's comforting to hear you went into labour naturally the 2nd time so I can only hope! 😂🤞🏼
