Extreme fear of giving birth 😣

Is it normal to feel extremely scared of giving birth to the point you’ll randomly cry? This is my first pregnancy and Ill be induced and giving birth in few days time. Im really hoping for a natural delivery and not e-csect😣 and can’t shake off the feeling of extreme fear and anxiety. I dont know what will happen, how my body will handle the pain and how im going to endure the pain as i have zero pain tolerance. Ill sometimes randomly cry before bed. I feel like counting down the days to giving birth is like the feeling of counting down the days to being hanged in prison. I know i should be happy and excited for baby to come but im just scared.

I think a lot of us also the same. Was sooo stressed when doing the GD test because need to take blood 3 times because I was scared of the pain and blood from needles. very scared of pain and blood. Can't imagine how I will be able to tahan labour. Hopefully no c section where need to cut the tummy. 😱😱😱 I'm also very scared of the tube insertion (to be inserted into vein) as well as the epidural. I dont know how I will survive labour 🥲🥲🥲 Can only pray that I get through this...
