I feel so bad and stupid

[BlondieMoo]

I am 39 weeks and 4 days....Wednesday is supposed to be THE day..... I feel terrible because my fear of the delivery (and the unknown) is out weighing my excitement.  Everyones telling me ways to speed things up..... but then I know whats too come before I can meet my little man that I'm too damn scared to try anything. But the waiting is driving me crazy. PLEASE TELL ME IM NOT THE ONLY WHO FEELS THIS WAY????? or am I being a terrible person???

Don't worry im the same way I'll be 38 weeks friday and im excited for her to be here but im scared to give birth. Everyone keeps telling me to have it natural no meds. But this is my first one. I don't want to scare myself and never want to do it again.

I was the same way, i cried as time got closer with my first son. All i could think was wth are you doing, i was so damn scared. It wasnt as bad as i thought, and here i am pregnant with my third child. It will be ok, pain meds help. Good luck try to relax and know that once your baby is in your arms you will realize it was all worth it.

Just remember, it's only temporary.and you can ask for pain meds at Any time.
I wouldn't be looking into inducing labor, i would be looking into how to make labor shorter.
For example studies show raspberry leaf tea shortens labor
