I’m a very anxious person and I’m scared to panic during labor and giving birth. I’m scared I won’t be able to do it. Any advice?

Just try and relax, it will feel stressful and panicky especially leading up to it, but your gonna smash it either way xxx

It is a scary thought, especially when it's your first time and you don't know what to expect. The way I think of it is there's 8 billion people on this planet and we all got here one way or another. You can and you will be able to do it. You got this! 💪

I felt the same, I was fine you’re so preoccupied with everything you haven’t got time to even think about panicking lol but I did have a moment of weakness when I got told i had to go into theatre have forceps etc could turn into an emergency C-section I also had sepsis during labour so felt so zone out but to be honest I had the best team of Doctors , they made me feel safe my husband was there and was amazing !! Im sure you’ll be fine
