I'm due to give birth in about three weeks time and I am terrified. I last gave birth almost nine years ago and the pain was something that I was absolutely not prepared for and I never thought a pain like that could exist!

Everyone says that the main thing is to keep calm and breathe...but I just can't relax - every time I even think about I start to hyperventilate and get emotional.

Can anybody offer any advice, or some magic words of wisdom, to help me to feel better?

Thank you so much!

I just told myself do not waste your energy screaming you'll only make it worse. For me at least, facing it helped. Its gna happen it's gna hurt but it will end sort of thing.

Push for an epidural. I wish i had. I've had 3 children 3rd was induced and I was in agony. All i was offered at 1st was paracetamol. My contractions came on quick and painful after starting.
