I'm sorry if this sounds silly or selfish, but I am scared of the pain of giving birth so much that I'd honestly prefer a c-section if it were possible to get one on the NHS. I know fear will make the birth harder and more painful, but I honestly can't even begin to think about it any other way, and trust me, I've tried. I'm only 10 weeks, so ages to go, but I know I really need to change my impression of how this is going to be, but I don't know how. I remember how painful it was to lose my virginity, and I dread to think how birth will be if I thought that was bad.
Does anyone else feel the same? I'm scared, and its silly because I know people give birth every day, but I can't help it and I could really do with some tips on how to get over this.
