We're due two weeks from today, and I had a little meltdown over it.
Do people *really* survive this? And can I really do this without any pain meds? I feel like I'm going to die, and I feel so trapped! There's no way out!
Break it down for me. Really, I'm just looking at managing pain and then pushing when it's time. Right??? (I use the term "just" loosely.)
Tell me we're going to live through this.
Re: Getting nervous - do people *really* survive labor and delivery??
I am a L&D nurse and people survive it every day. I help women through it every time I am at work.
Go into it with an open mind and do whatever your body tells you to do. We were made to do this.
GL!!!!!!!!
