Scared of pushing?!

Hey mamas...
So I'm 8 days away from my due date...and I can't help but be afraid of the pushing process. What if I don't push hard and strong enough? Ahh. The pain, I can tolerate...plus I'll be getting the epidural. But I just don't want to end up pushing for 4 hours! Any advice or experiences? Thank youuuu!

This wil be the 4th time I give birth and I'm still scared of the birth part!! When the time comes u won't be scared, you'll be in too much pain to bother! Don't be afraid of the pain meds it's all there to help and if u have a long labour u may be able to get some rest but just remember the birth part is the quickest but I find the contractions the worst. And that ur a woman, we were made to do this!! Your midwives are there to help u thru and guide u when to push, And the pain is all gone the second u see ur baby!
