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 went thru induction and natural birth few mths ago for my stillborn. everything happened so fast and i was not prepared to give birth at all. it just make me even more determined to go for elective c-sec for my current pregnancy bcoz the wait for dilation is crazy long and painful. the check for dilation is super painful as well, more painful than any injection or inserting the epidural needle, and u can only get epidural at 3/4cm dilated. before that all i can get is laughing gas or painkiller injection to help ease the contraction pain. and i dont get to eat properly throughout. i do not have the appetite since im in pain or too weak to eat. i have seen many ppl said c-sec is actually not that bad, and to be honest the process is so fast. 30 mins or less and baby is out. is only the recovery process takes longer. and c-sec help to eliminate some risks which we can better relax or feel assured that our baby will come out fine. nonetheless, hope u are more mentally prepared and brave through this!!!
