Nervous/scared
I'm 35 weeks now and as the days fly by I'm getting more and more scared of having to get an epidural or a c section. I am going to be a first time mom and I understand that the pain is going to be unlike anything I have ever experienced but I am praying I can get through it by telling myself the pain won't last forever.
I am so nervous about the possible need for an epidural/c section because my sister had both about 3 months ago and both still hurt her really bad. I am praying that I can deal with the pain of labor when it happens and not have to have pain every 3 months + after birth.
Any words of encouragement???
P.S. I'm a 21 year old first time mom who was an only child (I was adopted at birth and "my sister" I refer to is my biological sister that I found when I turned 18) and never been around kids or anyone who has had a child other than my sister who had her first a few months ago so I know absolutely nothing! Thanks for any help!
