Scared of labor pains

Scarlet

Euhm, this is a weird question because I'm not even pregnant yet, but I am very scared of labor pains. I really want to be pregnant and have a baby, but the pains are stressing me out. My pain tolerance is zero, so I'm afraid I won't make it. I want to try natural, but maybe thats not the best option for me. Anybody else feeling scared and what do you do about it?

Hi, Scarlet this is my second pregnancy I was the same way but once you are in labor and you can't take it anymore the pain meds are there for comfort

It just feels like you really have to poop. Epidurals are great. With my first I had an epidural at 8 cm, bc I wanted to try natural but couldn't. With my second I had her natural, and with my third I'm going to have it natural. The epidural gets rid of the labor pain so you can sleep.

At the begining of my pregnancy I was so scared. At one point I locked myself in the shower and just cried after watching a labor video on youtube. I was very scared. Now I say 'bring it on'. I'm ready to pop this kid out. I want my body back and mostly, I can't wait to hold my baby. I think its normal to be worried of scared but then you hit a point where your just ready to do what ever and get it over with for that life time reward.

I didn't have time for anything with my first. He was preemie so They tried more to keep him in than anything. No pain meds wasn't as bad as I thought. I have a high tolerance though. But there are so many options for pain management.
