I'm 36 weeks pregnant with my first DC. Very much wanted any and looking forward to being a mum.
Just been to 36 week midwife appointment where they go through the birth plan and I'm feeling terrified about labour. Midwife is lovely and answered all my questions so it's not her fault. I think I've tried not to think about it too much, taking the approach that it's just something I've got to get on and do, but now it seems very real and I'm feeling really worried about it. How will I cope with the pain? What if there is something wrong with the baby? What if I'm useless with the baby once it's here?
DH came with me and knows I'm feeling scared but has had to go back to work now so I'm sat on the sofa feeling sorry for myself.
Any advice wise mumsnetters?
