I'm 36 weeks and I have been very nervous. I have to say though, the farther along I become the more I can't wait to get him out. I'm THAT uncomfortable.

I only.have 5 weeks left
I have been to classes wher they talk about labour and my god am i scared.
I can deal with pain ifit means i dont have to have a needle lol. Epidurel is a.massive nono for me as they leave line in ur back to higher the dosage and id panic about them taking it out. I am hoping todo it all on gas and air as i am that affraid of needles. I am sooo affraid of having a c section so hopefully will power will get me thru it naturally

When I was first pregnant I told myself I wouldn't have a birth plan so I wouldn't be disappointed if something went differently. If I'm able to I'll get an epidural. But having this attitude has helped make labor less intimidating because I feel ready for anything. But this obviously doesn't work for everybody.

I have such a low pain tolerance , when I first found out I was pregnant I was terrified of all the pain during birth and I had so many questions. But now I'm 25 weeks and as my pregnancy progressed and I started feeling my babygirl I am now more anxious to give birth just because I want to meet her so badly. You just have to remember the birth part is the shortest experience of your whole pregnancy! It will go by so quickly and then once you're done you'll forget all about the pain !

Nothing ever goes as planned in labor really. You never know how it's gonna be even if you aren't a first time mom. But I can promise you that no matter what happens, you'll forget abou all of it the second you look into your angels eyes ! With My first daughter I was induced unexpectedly and contractions were awful, I was in labor for a long time. But it was all forgotten as soon as she looked at me.

I'm scared that it might be too late for me to get the epidural or I might get it too early to where it wears off and I feel everything I'm not good with pain at all not even period cramps and I really don't want a c section either

Yes!!!! That's me! I'm a ftm and I'm so scared of complications. I don't care about how painful it is as long as the baby and myself come out OK. But just the thought that I only have 4 more months left gets me nervous
