It is definitely normal to be nervous! I don't know a ftm or veteran mommies who aren't scared! There's just so much that's out of our hands, its really just useless to worry (and I know that's falling on deaf ears lol its okay). Listen, one way or another that baby is going to come out of you, yes it will hurt and yes it will be gross. But if you just keep reminding yourself that it'll all be worth it once you hold that baby, I promise you'll make it through. My best advice is to just BREATHE, its amazing what pausing and taking a deep breath can do for you.

Relax, you'll be fine, and when its all said and done you'll have a beautiful little baby and the whole experience will become foggy lol (;

I am a ftm and due in Nov, I think it is perfectly normal to be nervous. The way I think of it is that our body was designed to give birth, it is natural so I will take it as it comes and try to remain calm through the pain..
I know it will be painful, but instead of worrying about the pain and freaking myself out I about it. Which no doubt will only make it worse, I'm accepting it! If everyone else can do it, I sure as hell can!!

I'm due in 12 days I'm nervous because I don't know what to expect because I'm a ftm but I'm honestly so ready to get it over with. This constant pelvic pain and just always feeling uncomfortable is driving me nuts

Pregnancy is a blessing and at end of all the pain is total plessure! once you got your baby in your arms there is no more pain at all xx

Try not to worry about the pain. Whenever I get nervous I think well it will only go on for alittle while then for the rest of my life I will be filled with such love and if that doesn't work I think about all the money that I'm gonna have to put into this kid and that scares me more than any labor ever could lol

Just get the epidural you'll be fine. I can't tolerate much pain either

It's different for everyone, but once I got my epidural I couldn't feel anything. Also it's true once you have your baby you quickly forget how awful labor is.
