Thanks it actually does make me feel better. I mean everyone has a different experience and our bodies are designed to go through labor... At least thats what my doctor said. I cant wait for my Little Boy to be here. It will all be worth it when he is! :)

I loved labour and i went natural with a waterbirth and just gas and air. I didnt go to the hospital until i was 7cm. I was petrified when i first found out i was pregnant with my first, the thought of labour was scary. But your body knows what to do. I never took any birthing classes or learnt any techniques to help me through. I just took it as it came and i loved it. Dont let people scare you with horror stories everyones different and everyone copes differently! Good luck mumma!

Honestly I loved labor it was my favorite part. I did get the epidural at 8 cm. Honestly I think its what attitude you go in with it. If you go in with a negative attitude and think its going to be horrible it probably will be. If you go in confident with a good attitude and an open mind you should be fine.
