Is it normal to feel nervous?

Question

The closer I get to baby girl getting here the more nervous I find myself about birth! I’ve done my fair share of research and learning about birth. It’s just the weeks are flying by and I’m realizing I’m REALLY going to have to push her out of my vagina! Lol. I’ve got anxiety about it! Can anyone relate? Does anyone else feel nervous? Is it normal I feel nervous and have anxiety?

Answer

I tell myself this when I have those feelings: It's as natural and normal as a bowel movement. Billions of women do it everyday. There are natural ways to prevent damage and one of them is avoiding unnecessary medical intervention. Your body knows how to give birth.

Answer

I definitely do. I’m not a fan of needles and when I was younger I had god awful debilitating period pains that would make me vomit. 
My fear is passing out and or puking from the pain as well as passing out from the needles they have to poke me with. 
Then I try to remember I’m going to be a mother and I’ll have to be strong for my boy for the rest of his life so I’ll have to be strong while welcoming him here

Answer

I was the same way but it wasn’t as bad as I thought. I got an epidural so it doesn’t really hurt when you push, but it feels like an extreme amount of pressure down there. Be prepared for discomfort right after the birth as they “fix” you up. I knew some about it, but didn’t realize it took as long as it would.
