Birth Anxiety

Hey all, I'm at 37 weeks now and suddenly I feel really scared, I don't know why when I've already had 4 children by Virginal Births and two of those were 9lbs. I say in bed last night panicking and getting scared about the pain and that I couldn't do it and what if the labour went on for hours. It's strange for me because although I get nervous towards the end I never really panic about the pain because I am usually pretty good with my labour pain but this time I'm filled with worry about everything and I think I'm scaring myself. I am trying to think of the positives like the baby finally being here or the fact that after I've delivered then I get to hold my baby but nothing seems to be helping, I usually throw myself into worrying about my kids and what they will be doing while I'm in hospital but like every other time I know they'll be with their dad. I'm wondering if it's because I'm having this baby at a different hospital?!

Op are you feeling better now?

I think everyone has some anxieties.

Is there someone you can talk to?

Maybe just try to keep busy?

You've done it before, I sure you'll be fine.
