although everyone i lknow has told me that having a baby is a beautiful thing, im still scared. this is my first baby, im not alone n i have all the suport i can ask for but im still scared to DEATH. im scared im not going to be able to handle it.. im the biggest baby in the world. up untill i had even told my mom i was pregnet she always thought i would never have kids because of the whole birth. it is the only thing that scares me about haveing a baby.. the whole birth part. i hate getting shots. and im afaid i wont be able to get an epadural for fear of a needle going up in my spine. but at the same time i dont want to go natural.. what should i do???

Okay, when you are in labor, you will welcome the needle with open arms because you wil lwant to be numb. It only felt like pressure to me when I got it. My tattoos hurt worse than the epidural. It's going to be fine. You will forget about the pain once you see your baby and it will be a huge relief once you are done delivering. It goes from a 10 in pain right down to maybe an uncomfortable 3. Goodluck, and you will be fine once you see your precious baby.

How far along are you? when i was prego with my first i was scared to death of labor and needles as well. That will usually go away once you hit the last month. i just remember that i spent the whole last month praying for labor because being so big is very uncomfortable.

Hi there erin, just thought i give my thoughts. Dont be scared it may not be all that bad i was scared as well but the only way i could describe it , it felt like menstrual cramps some people do have a bad pregnancy but mine was not bad at all. I only went into third stage labor and it only last 15 min and 4 pushes. And i also did this natural no epideral or paid medication. that was it . then it was all over. good luck and don't be scared. An di would do it all over again 5 times
