try not to worry about it. (easyer said than done)
i think the parentcraft will help.
dependin of what ur mw is like she will either say not to worry or give u advice if u ask.
there is lots of ways to read up about info on pain relief , on here or in the baby mags.
ur not due till june so just try to relax again and enjoy bein pregnant for the mo.
on the other hand its never to early to prepare urself as much as u can.
with the birth plan somepeople say its useful.
so u, partner, hospital staff have a idea of what labour ur hopin 4. but be prepared as it might change.
im a first time mum, due yesterday, still so scared about the labour, i know it will hurt, somepeople say u 4get it once u hold ur baby in ur arms.
My 2nd birth was so much more easy than the first cos i knew the pain couldnt go on forever. If you fight the contractions and panic it wont help. Just try to let them wash over you and it'll be over in no time.
oh and also, i used a tens machine and put OH in charge of the boost button which he was very good at- midwife told him he did very well!
Im looking forward to this birth cos i can remember the feeling after my last birth- i just knew its what my body was made for.
Dont be scared x
You honestly do forget and even though my first birth was a nightmare i still wouldn't think twice about having another one tommorow!
Take care x
it's a magical experience and once that bundle of joy is in your arms, it's all over and you will forget all about it. I found the time flashed by during labour aswell.
Good luck I'll keep my fingers crossed that you are like my sister!! best wishes xxx
Of course, having said that, you might find it's not that bad, and you can do it all on your own. Good luck

It wasn't that bad! I've been in more pain for other things!
But yeah, it does hurt!

all the very best to everyone
