scared..

I am actually freaking out..i am so petrified of giving birth,all the pain!,i am terrible with pain!,and ino all the pain will be worth it but i just cant seem to get it out my head!   

I'll be honest with you. It hurts a lot...a lot a lot. My best advice is to get the epidural.

Do you want to go natural or are you planning on using an epidural?

oh no im planning an epidural its already in the birth plan!

In getting an epidural, I wouldn't be too worried! You will be fine! : ) Just make sure you don't get it so early that it wears off by the delivery. And make sure your doctor does the epidural. I got a med student without my knowledge, and he screwed it up, so I got to enjoy (ha. ha.) the pain of natural childbirth. It hurt like a b*tch! Honestly, it was like being told I had to smurf a football, lol.....really..........

You can't really feel anything with an epidural, so pushing is not as effective, but i would have taken that over the pain I experienced without it any day. If you're concerned about not being able to push well, you can get a walking epidural which can be adjusted.
