I was like you - sooo nervous about the unknown! I think the lead up and all the thinking and dwelling and the "what if" was 100000 times worse then the actual birth lol. I actually enjoyed giving birth to my boy and was fortunate enough to have a beautiful, natural birth. When I think of a next time (although I don't feel ready to fall pregnant again for a while yet) I think that if I was guaranteed this birth that I would be feeling so excited and absolutely fearless, but even though I wouldn't freak out like the first time, I would still feel nervous about the fact it is still unknown and every birth is a whole new story and anything is possible iykwim. Oh boy, I think i am just one big worrier lol and becoming a Mum sure didn't help that hehe. All the best to you anyhow!
