I am being a birthing partner for my sister who is due in 8 weeks time. It's her second child, first child was 11 years ago and she was very young then doesn't really remember that much of it.
She's chosen me as we are very close and very similar to each other, and believe it or not i am usually the most level headed and calm person in stressful situations, it's likely to be me who everyone turns to.
I'm so excited about this as i missed the birth of my first niece, she's having quite a rough pregnancy but all is well with baby.
I've never given birth or witnessed a birth, and as much as i really want a family one day i've always had a fear of child birth due to stories i've heard and complications that can happen, typical me jumps to the worst possible child birth and assumes that is what i will have. I'm very short and a tiny frame which scares the crap out of me lol.
I really think i will be the best person to be there for my sister however i am worried it will create even more fear for myself :weep: I'm hoping the labour is a smooth as possible but obviously it's unpredictable and anything could happen, i know i will likely cope very well at the time in staying calm and supporting my sister, but when it's all over with i may feel even more scared about it for myself.
