Y’all this isn’t a birth story so you can skim past this if you want, but I’m scared to death about actually giving birth. I was always planning on giving birth via c-section but my OB really wants me to try vaginally. I’m warming up to the idea after talking to some ladies in my family. But I’m still really scared about that. I thought I had a very high pain tolerance, but I’m nervous that birth could kill me. I can’t wait to meet my first baby in June but I’m also petrified that in labor & delivery something will go wrong and I want to be a mom sooooo bad. I want to see my husband and best friend be a daddy. I don’t want to miss any of that. I’m scared that because of my generalized epilepsy (I’ve had since I was 14) that the baby and I both might be in serious danger. Should I be worried. My OB and Nurse Practitioner both agree that I should be able to do vaginal birth.

Is it really that bad?
