gerting scared of birth...

[HannahCabana11]

Just turned 37 weeks today. I have so much anxiety about going into labor and birth this is my first child and I live alone I'm scared about going into labor and can't drive myself to the hospital.... Plus I have no idea how contractions feel or what labor and birth is going to be like.. I'm only 18 :/ ugh and on top of it I'm horrified to get the epidural.. any moms who've had children have any advice?

If you cant drive then call 911 & you'll have to deliver @the nearest hospital its better to b safe than sorrry. W.my 1st pregnancy it was snowing so , there was no way we could of droven to the hospital iwas suppose to deliever @ , so ihad no other choice but to deliever @the nearest labor was 4hrs & yes igot the edpurial. To me the edpurial didnt hurt . & igot it the 2nd time as well & im planning to get it done again w.this pregnancy im 33wks. Im not a person w.hi pain tolerance so , isay if theres such thing of an edpurial might as well get it. & every labor story is diff & every pregnancy is diff. W.my 2nd labor was an hr & a half .

Hi. I had my baby 7 weeks ago. Not gonna lie it was hard and everyone will have a different experience. But think about this, we all do it, we are built for this and really u shouldn't have any expectations. I had the epidural and gave birth naturally, pushed so hard. But Honestly once your baby is in your arms it's all worth it. GOOD Luck
