Hi all, I am 28+1 with my first child and I am absolutely scared to death of giving birth!! My mum is a retired MW and haven't discussed it with her as I know what she'll say 'oh you'll be fine' etc etc as will my MW.
I am scared of the pain, the before's and after's, I am scared of tearing, baby getting stuck etc.
I could quite happily be put to sleep how I feel at the moment.
Am I just being silly?? I know it's different for everyone, but if I could skip from pregnancy to baby being here without the bit in between I would be quite happy!!
Have heard bad things about an epidural so am not too keen TBH.
I would like a water birth as I've heard they are the best for the pain.
Any advice greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance xxx
