Massive anxiety over labor

Brie • Mother 💙💙 Wife 💏💖 Expecting! 👶🤗

Quick back story, I had relatively "easy" and "quick" deliveries with my first two boys, no pain meds - didn't work on my first, second came to quickly and I didn't want to slow labor down. So here I am, 5 weeks out from my due date and my anxiety over going into labor again is skyrocketing.

I'm ready to have this little guy, I'm in a lot of pain, all the usual end of pregnancy stuff, so like, the sooner then better so to speak. But the moment I start really thinking about the pain to come my heart starts racing, palms sweating, all the signs of the panic attacks I sometimes get.

How are you ladies coping or how did you? I've done it twice, I know I can get through it and in the end I get my last little bundle of love, but man it's hard knowing what's coming.
