is reading what can go wrong. I visit the bump.com message boards almost daily, and in the last two weeks there has been two babies that strangled on their umbilical cords and today a lady in the Inland Empire died after delivering her baby.
However, it really doesn't freak me out to read those. Why? I figure nothing will happen to me. It drives me nuts when Eric's mom dwells on the NICU (where a friend's granddaughter is for a while) because I feel certain my baby will not end up there.
I also am not worried about anything like emergency c-section, etc.
I am freaked out about the pain, since I really don't understand what childbirth feels like, but I really am not worried at all about complications.
One of the reasons why I visit the boards and read other people's problems is that way I can see what happens.
If not, my mind would go crazy worrying about how much Alex moves, if I'm doing this right, etc.
Because my pregnancy is different than everyone else's- they are all different. As will my birth experience and how Alex acts after he is born... he could be quiet and mellow, he could be a pain in the butt! And the only way to learn how to deal with him is get to know him and what he wants, not just follow what other people say.
