Dont stress about it! Its tough, but you can totally do it! Im a total chicken-shit with this kind of stuff...but I had my son, and I know I can do it again! Its worth every second of what you go through...and honestly I thought it was going to be alot worse than it was. You can do it!!!
I'm terrified too don't worry. I'm due may 6th with my first. I just keep telling myself it will be the worst pain imaginable that way once it happens I'll be ready. Either I'll be prepared for how bad it's going to be or it won't be as bad as I thought. Plus I've been practicing relaxing techniques and ways to keep my mind occupied during contractions and the pushing. just hope it all helps.
The best way to ease the fear is to educate yourself. Great resources include: The business of being born Bradley method classes And youtube! There are many natural birth videos online. Check them out to see the true nature of birth. Not a lot of screaming and curssing like you see in the movies...
You will be fine, just focus on the amazing person you will be bringing into this world!
I recommend a book by penny simkin called the birth partner. It has been a birth bible for me. I always say YES IT'S GOING TO HURT AND YES YOU CAN DO IT! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF YOU ARE AMAZING AND POWERFUL!
