Hi, I am 17 weeks and I have been terrified of labor since we were ttc. I know we are meant to birth babies but I am terrified I won't be able to bear the pain. I was feeling a bit better reassuring myself but everyone keeps telling me how excruciating it was. I am going to acupuncture for my anxiety and it's helping. I'm sorry I couldn't offer much advice but I am also very afraid and am also going through klonopin withdrawal at the same time! I've been on it so long for panic attacks. I was worried about taking it so I stopped too quickly and ended up in the hospital on fluids. I had severe morning sickness at the time too. I am now almost off of it. I wish you luck and comfort. I'm sure you will be fine. My mom said labor starts slowly so you will have plenty of time to get an epidural if you choose.

Aww. It is unfortunate to see a another soul is distress.
I am now on week 39 and I would like to share with you some good news.
While it could be any day now, I have noticed my anxiety lessen.
The idea of motherhood is beginning to feel warm. All I think about is how badly I want to hold her and comfort her.
There is hope for you... I thought I would be going into panic mode, but honestly a humble, mothering feeling brought itself to light.
As far as your sickness just know it won't last forever. Be sure to keep up on your fluids.
Good luck and remember that relief is on the way.
