38 weeks today and nervous!

Katy
38 weeks pregnant and a first time mum! The nerves are starting to kick in! The pregnancy has gone great so far and the plan is to give birth in the hospitals birth centre (UK) and use the birthing pool...I have absolutely no idea what to expect or how painful it is really going to be. Friends and family advise to have the epidural but I'm going to give it a go without but will have absolutely no regrets if I feel I need it :-) I just can't wait to meet our baby boy for the first time and begin life as a family 💙
