Therapy for Preparing for Birth
If you're feeling overwhelmed, you're not doing it wrong—you’re doing something huge. Preparing to give birth can stir up a complicated mix of emotions: joy, fear, pressure, excitement, doubt. You might be reading every article you can find or avoiding them entirely because the information feels like too much. You’re imagining what labor might be like, how you’ll feel in the moment, and what kind of parent you’ll be afterward. And under all of that might be a quiet question: “Am I really ready for this?”
therapy for preparing for birth
Preparing for birth can bring a whirlwind of emotions—excitement, anxiety, curiosity, and even fear. Many expectant mothers find themselves overwhelmed by information, advice, and expectations. It’s easy to feel pressure to make “all the right choices” while wondering what the experience will be like. As you prepare, thoughts about pain, control, and even how you’ll adjust afterward can create stress, making it difficult to stay grounded and confident. Preparing emotionally for birth can be just as important as the physical preparations.
