It is normal to be scared/nervous as a FTM but just remember that women have been doing this since the beginning of time so you can do it!  I just gave birth to my 8th, all vaginal births, and it's okay.  There are many parts of pregnancy that I dislike way more than the actual birth...comfort wise I mean.  So you will be fine!

When the labor happens for you, you go to the hospital, if the pain is too much, you can get pain medication (epidural) and you will feel no pain and you will be able to relax.

Lol I saw something like that on fb, I guess the baby's head was too big she couldn't push him out so the doctors used some type of scissors to cut the skin below the vagina.. As soon as I saw blood gushing out i exed out of it!!.. I'm terrified, but I'm ready

Honesty it all really just depends on your personal pain tolerance. I've had 2 babies without any pain medication and I plan to do the same with this one. In that moment all that will matter to you is your baby and meeting your precious blessing for the first time. Whether it be natural, c section, with meds, without meds the moment you hold your baby it will all be worth it. So calm down, don't stress everything is ok.

When it's happening all you'll be able to think of is your baby being in your arms. Yes it'll hurt some but you'll get through it.
