is it normal?

Question

I am 4 weeks away from my due date and I have not been able to get one wink of sleep tonight because all I have been thinking of is labour. This is my first child and so many people have told me about the pain and I am freaking out, I don't deal with pain very well & it's making me really panic. Is it normal to feel like this?

Answer

Sounds like anxiety, completely normal. I have anxiety aside from pregnancy and it's definitely not always an easy thing to deal with but try to think of the positives and don't stress on the things that could go wrong, etc. as you might be worrying for nothing, as labor sometimes is something we can't control!

Answer

I can tell you this- I am the biggest sissy in the whole world and I'm pregnant with my 5th. So the pain can't be that bad that I keep doing it! With my son I had cut my ankle on a door 3 days before I had him and while I was in labor I kept complaining about my ankle hurting. It's not nearly as bad as you've built it up in your head- and I say that as someone who built it up pretty big!

Answer

I had my baby drug free & would do it again. It's hard but it's so doable! Take the drugs if you need and trust that you are capable of this

Answer

I would say if you are open to an epidural than take it. It's hevean and you can relax and enjoy the labor instead of feeling on the verge of death( sorry but that sh*t hurts like hell) 
I have done it both ways and will be getting the epidural as soon as they will let me! Don't be scared tho, the pain immediately goes away as soon as the baby is out

Answer

This is me! 36 weeks today and all I can think about is wanting labor to bring itself on
