Getting nervous

Ok I'm 31 weeks...I have been pretty ok with the whole labor thing until recently I'm literally terrified about the actual birth. I am so good with pain except my woman area lol. I've had two surgeries and I never took pain medicine and they were both serious surgeries...but if I have a bad period I'm in tears from pain! I know the recovery time is Longer than when having a vaginal delivery but I wish I could request a c section to just get this worry off my mind... :-( I'm really scared

I'm 39 weeks and I am terrified, I want my baby out so bad but at the same time I am scared, I have no pain tolerance and I hate needles, I will probably get the epidural but I won't know for sure until I'm in the moment! Good luck :)

I was in the room in jan when my sister had my niece and her epidural did Not work!! I'm Terrified of that kind of pain. I sound less of a woman but I'm being honest I am so scared! Thanks for the comments I dunno if my OB would do it by a request or if its like only a medical reason...I have an appointment on Friday I'm gonna talk to her about my concern because its not good to be feeling this nervous about it :-(

I was terrified to give birth when I was pregnant with my first...but it really wasn't that bad. I mean yes it hurt but I got the epidural and it was amazing lol once my labor started I went into mommy mode and just let my body take over and do its job :) good luck momma, you will do great!

Where I'm at , you can request a c-section . But just remember if your not against it there's options that the nurses and ob will go over with you as far as pain medication , epidural , all of that . Some woman think it will be terrible and long and ends up not being too bad . I would talk to your ob aboutall your options and go from there . Congrats :)
