I am due (my first) in a few weeks and am starting to get a bit nervous about the whole thing- I find it difficult to discuss my feelings with the midwifes as they are so matter-of-fact about the whole thing, ie. don't worry, you'll be fine, happens all the time etc.
I have asthma and am concerned about having an attack in labour, especially as the last m/w told me that salbutamol is actually used to slow down labour- so obviously made me worry that it would prolong labour and be very distressing.
Any tips on how to stay relaxed would be very gratefully received as I think it would be my best chance of staying in control and avoiding an attack.
Thanks!
