Hi
Seems a bit stupid to be posting this as I know full well that childbirth hurts. I have a really low tolerance for pain, I can't even pop spots without wanting to cry. It's really dumb because I have tattoos and piercings that didn't bother me, but anything else makes me feel awful. I'm not ashamed to say I'm scared of pain, I've always been a careful person as not to get hurt. I'm 10 weeks pregnant and the realisation that I'll have to give birth has caused me endless nights of crying myself to sleep in sheer terror. I don't deal with pain well and I don't know how I'm going to cope. My mum passed out giving birth to me and I was only 7lbs... is there anything I can do to ease my worries? Anything at all? I know alot of people will just tell me to deal with it... and that's fair enough... but it's really frightening me...
