How did you guys cope with being terrified of labor?!

I'm 38 weeks & every time I think about it my stomach turns..

I have struggled with anxiety pretty much all my life & I have a super low pain tolerance..

Also, if any of you had major anxiety how did you cope with the feeling of being numbed from the epidural?! I'm 99% sure once I go numb, I'll probably freak out for a little bit.😭😭
