Terrified to give birth

[ElisabethR93]

Like labor seems doable I'm sure it'll hurt like hell but I'm actually more scared of pushing her out and ripping. I honestly keep having nightmares. I get scared I can't handle the pain. And I also don't want an epidural because it seems to risky to me. I don't want to go paralyzed nor do I want a needle in my spine.
I'm so clueless. I hate not having a car or license. I want to take a class or something to learn more but no luck yet...I'm due April 21st too.

Anyone else have their doubts or are scared?

Thank you all got the advice! I guess I'm being just a baby about it. I'm very sensitive bout my lady area. I never want to do something that will cause it pain cause to me that's the worse. I don't handle pain well at all!

My due date is today and all I can think about is labor and the pain I'm about to go through. I know it will all be worth it once it's over but I'm still scared as ever! I plan to go natural but we'll see how I feel when I get there!

I'm due in 3 weeks I'm scared of the ugly faces I'll be making when I'm pushing him out lol.

Pushing is the easiest. And If they think you are gonna rip they numb "down there" and cut it. Contractions are what you should be worries about lol

Yeah i ripped an had an epidural... Had 2 stitches which isnt bad at all but its more irritating then anything... An the epidural was hevan in my eyes... Made it a lil before i dialated to 8cm... An i couldnt take it no more my contractions were hitting to almost the top of the contraction monitor.. So epidural was the trick an im scared of needles an didnt like the idea of it all but hell contactiins aint no joke for some woman. Best of luck tho (=

I just had my daughter on Monday all natural
I didn't take any classes & feel like it did pretty good.
The contractions were what I had a hard time with
The pushing was no pain at all. I got a second degree cut & it isn't painful to me. It just feels very sensitive down there which makes it a struggle to move around but isn't pain at all. It's feels like your muscles are very sore. & they will give you a spray to put on yourself it numbs you I don't use it since I don't find it painful
i don't know I guess I have a high pain tolerance lol :) Don't worry you will do fine!
