I'm 37 weeks and I think it's suddenly hit me that in the next couple of weeks I am going to be in labour and giving birth and there's nothing I can do about it. Until now I've been pretty cool about it all because it seemed so far off and I was feeling rational. But now I just feel scared and a bit like I could cry. I want my baby here and I want my body back, but the thought of being in agony and having someone mess about with my fanny, and then have to push the baby out my fanny and possibly tear is really upsetting me.
Any advice or just a hand hold really! First baby so I have no idea what to expect.
