Oh okay. That's what I would be scared about is being put to sleep and not waking up..would you rather have a c section?

They'll only put me to sleep for a c-section if I don't already have an epidural in or if they don't have time for a spinal tap.

@raymondsgirl21 The only plus side I see to a c-section is I get 2 more weeks off work with my little guy.

@drakenoboe me too! I'm scared for the epidural but I know I'm going to need and want it. But I'm hoping for a vaginal birth too. I would be super scared for a c section more than any other way though

@raymondsgirl21 I'm going to try vaginal birth with an epidural. The pain of inserting the epidural scares me, but I have a feeling that once I start having contractions, I'll get over the pain of starting the epidural. I kind of have been ignoring the whole how I'm going to get him out. My mind jumps from awww my belly to awww my baby. No imagination in between. No planning.

This will be my second baby I'm due in march & I'm scared to lol ;) my advice to you first time mamas is just to try staying calm and BREATHING thru it!! That really helped me in my delivery and during contractions breathe! Breathing is the key, you'll get thru the pain & once you see your baby youll forget why you were ever even scared! Good luck ladies :)

Yeah. I went through the prepared child birthing class my hospital offers...and she was going through the ways of getting the kid out. I was saying "nope. Not that one. And not that one either". I'm petrified of getting my little boy out of me. 43 days to go here.

I get a bit nervous when thinking about it but then I think in the moment I'll be excited because I know I'll be having my baby out of it and the only painful bit is the contractions so I hear but I'm just wondering whether to have a water birth or just on the bed.b
