Second Time Jitters

Anyone else nervous for labour? I thought I had it in the bag with the first as I have a really high pain tolerance, but there's just no preparing for the levels of crazy pain. Second time round, I'm getting pretty nervous about handling the pain, especially prepping for my second water birth... Any advice? Any one feel the same? 31 weeks tomorrow!

I am feeling pretty confident and excited about it just like I did the first time around.

This will be my second and I'm pretty confident!! Most are scared of labor but to me that's the finish line I've been running towards for all these months!

My first birth was painless so I'm doing it natural this time, I need a challenge!:)

Just ready to get him out of my belly and in my arms!!:)

Hunny I think its normal to feel nervous. I'm due in 11 days with baby #3 and I'm freaking out like I'm a ftm lol just try to relax. I think its cool your having a water birth, I wanted to have one but wasn't sure on if my insurance would cover it. Congrats :)
