Overweight ?

I'm in my 35 weeks of pregnancy. And I've gained 38 lbs. I'm worried because I'm overweight, and this is my first baby and I want to do a vaginal delivery. I heard people say that overweight can make delivery more difficult.
What can I do :'(

Momma don't worry about the weight gain. People of all sizes can deliver vaginally. They won't make you have a c-section unless it's medically needed. You got this and I'm praying everything goes well And you have a peaceful delivery.
