Be encouraged: i was scared for nothing

This was my first baby and I was so terrified of a vaginal birth. I thought it would hurt even more than labor. When they told me it was time to push I started shaking violently from anxiety.

It turns out that with the epidural I didn't feel a thing! Pushing was completely painless. Labor before the epidural was by far the worst part (I got epidural the last 2 hours of labor).

I feel way more normal than I thought I would only 2 days after the delivery.

Be encouraged moms!
