Normal not to feel scared or nervous?

Hi ladies so I'm currently 37 weeks pregnant and to tell you the truth I'm not scared or nervous about going into labor. I am a first time mom and I'm just ready to meet my little boy. My husband and I been trying for 6 years to get pregnant and finally we got our little blessing.  When my family ask me if I'm scared or nervous about feeling the pain of labor I tell them no. Is that crazy/ weird maybe because I've been wanting this for many years and have so much faith in God and a Saint that I have been praying since I ever found out I was pregnant?  Or do you ladies think at the last min I'm actually going to freak out? Did any of you started to get scared or nervous knowing you were close to 40 weeks

I wasnt nervous at all about labour, until I went to the dr on his dd and they told me they were inducing me the next morning bcos of his size they didnt want to risk him getting bigger.
Then I freaked out.

Anything goes, but it really comes down to how prepared you feel you are,

I know how you feel i wasnt scared for either of my kids. I knew it was going to hurt but billions of women have done it so it never crossed my mind to be scared of the pain.
