Y’all I know this is so stupid. I am 24 almost 25 weeks pregnant now and I am being haunted by thinking of how birth is going to go!

I am just scared of the fact that a needle is going to go so close to my spine. Is there any way to calm down about it? I WISH I could have a natural labor and birth but I know it will probably be really painful, and if I have to have a c section I’ll have to have the spinal.

It’s just irrational anxieties about it I think. “What if they poke the wrong spot and I get paralyzed?” Etc. And it doesn’t help that I don’t trust my dr. (But that is a whole other situation and it’s too late to switch to other practices. 🥲)

My mother had both of her kids without epidural but, IDK y’all. Help a girl out and give me tips to stop stressing, pros, ANYTHING because I am SCARED 😂
