Every time i feel scared or unsure about something (pregnancy related- giving birth, breast feeding etc) i do a little research myself on Google and I feel much better about it! About contractions you should do the same; there is lots of info on how breathing correctly through contr. can make them less painful; also just concentrating on breathing is MUCH BETTER then being concentrated on pain during contractions!
You will do great ;-)

Contractions for me were horrible. But as soon as my son came out and I mean literally the very second he came out the pain stopped like nothing had even happened
