I was like this with my first I was so scared but honestly the whole thing is a blur because once they pass you the baby its like it never happened it’s really bizarre xxx

it’s really scary 😢but I hope it’s like that for me and goes smooth. X

I was similar in the sense that my pain tolerance is terrible!! I was induced at 5pm and then by 1am I couldn’t bare the contractions anymore and had an epidural.. it was like night and day, I was a completely different person.. was laid in bed drinking my water and watching friends on the iPad! Come 11am it was time to push and the midwife helped me with this when this was needed

Anxiety is totally normal but there are lots of options for pain relief and also let your midwife know how much you’re worrying. Just remember that this is what our bodies were made to do! You can do this and baby will arrive and you will do great! I would really recommend the Ina May Childbirth book as they have loads of amazing positive birth stories that make you feel very empowered. ❤️
