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.

Hi Babe, firstly, it’s pretty normal that you felt the anxiety of giving birth. But tell you, you don’t have to. I just gave birth last June on my 1st baby, I was suppose to be induce when Baby doesn’t come out week after my due. But fortunately, baby come out on the exact day of my EDD. I was happy that I wasn’t induced, coz honestly I don’t want to. The only painful I can say are, 1 : labor, contraction 2: epidural (though it’s not that painful than I expected) 3: the stitches while it’s healing 4: your first time poop after giving birth 😅 The rest is tolerable. You can make it, Babe! Just pray and stay strong. Remember it will pass, it’s just a matter of sacrifice. God Bless!
