I'm a 36yr old FTM to be & due in two wks & really starting to freak out! I've suffered with anxiety & PA in the past but have a good hold on it now & have for a few years. But now the thought of imminent labour is starting to worry me. I feel like I won't be able to handle the pain & will panic & totally lose control. I've been told so many horror stories (why people feel the need to tell FTM's these I have no idea even ones that say the pain is akin to being burned alive FFS!!)
So basically, I suppose what I'm looking for is someone similar to me who has given birth & not had a complete meltdown! I'm so excited to meet my little boy but literally cannot see past the labour & how I'm going to react.
