a little scared...

So it says I have 61 days left, but I don't think I'm going to make it to my due date (Oct 12)
I haven't gained any weight, actually lost 3 pounds but I look 11 months pregnant! Braxton hicks contractions have began (another first for me since this pregnancy is really really different than my first) and I'm really low. I swear I can feel lil bub right in my pelvic area, with his feet under my ribs. I keep getting this mental picture of him in there like a bat...but I digress. Here's the tmi part, mucusis amped up, I even passed my mucus plug about a week and a half ago. Dr wasn't worried.  Here lately I wipe after using the bathroom and there is little blobs of it (sorry tmi! Didn't have this with the first) I promise I have a point lol
My point is, I'm terrified I'm going to go into labor! Ihad a c section with my first and am supposed to have a repeat c section with this one. There's never been any discussion about labor for me since the c sections are what is needed (narrow hips)
So I'm terrified of what women have been doing naturally for centuries. Go figure. Any advice?

Thanks I'm guess I'm just getting the gitters about it. The c section doesn't scare me but I never went through any labor classes or discussions and I'm just terrified. I keep dreaming about it and it really scares me. I feel like an idiot for being such a wimp though. I just have this nightmare of my water breaking while my partner is at work and not being able to get to the hospital (live in the sticks) and end up having a problem with not being able to deliver. I guess that is what scares me. I'm being silly I guess. Thanks for listening :)

If your hips are too narrow they will do a c section regardless won't they? This was the case for my friend she had bit of her children via c section.
As for natural birth.. Its ok it obviously hurts but it isn't horrendous. But i don't think you'll have to do it hun. Don't stress yourself out.x x
