Everyone is different. I was terrified of labor and read every book, watched YouTube videos and had plan of no epidural. What happened was I was so uncomfortable at week 36 I couldn't wait to meet her. I ended up with an epidural and an emergency csection. My advice is go in with an open mind for a healthy baby and healthy mama. That's all that matters in the end.

Take everything said about personal birth stories with a grain of salt. Every pregnancy, woman, labor, delivery and baby is different.
