[quote=Anonymous]I felt like this with my first pregnancy and what it ended up being was a lot of discomfort with ideas about my changing identity (from a scholar with a Phd to a mom), fear of childbirth, and just a whole lot of uncertainty in general. I couldn't talk about things with other people because I didn't know what I thought about it all. I didn't want family in the hospital either because I wanted a chance to acclimate to the baby. My mom came anyway and ignored my wishes. Don't tell people until after the fact. Wear bigger clothes rather than maternity clothes. Take a baby care class and a childbirth class. Hire a doula.[/quote]
