I have 3 weeks until my due date and I'm really scared of giving birth.
I had a pretty horrible time with my daughter and this being my second baby I'm just positive it will all happen again.
Are there any tips to help me try and stay calm during labour? Anything I can do mentally in the next few weeks to try and help myself? The fear is becoming quite bad and I'm starting to even have nightmares! Please, if anyone has any advice. All my midwife says is Oh it will be easier this time because it's your second which doesn't reassure me at all..
