Yep.. with all 3. Was scared with my first because of the unknown. Was scared with subsequential labours because of what happen with my first labour now knowing how much labour hurts.

With DS i guess i just "sucked it up".. didnt so much get past it before the labour, but just knew i had to go through it, there was no way around it.

With DD.. was scared of the pain and if id need another episiotomy like i did with DS and if my recovery would be as long as it was with DS (3+months). I guess in labour i got through it by having an epidural.. something i was too scared to have with DS.

This baby.. i am scared of labour still. Its the pain that scares me the most... I really dont want to have to go through it but i have no choice. However i have no hesitation this time to get an epidural once the pain gets unbearable. But still it scares me. I think another thing that scares me is DD's labour was longer than DS's.. so im also scared that this one will be longer again still. I just cant wait for it to be over with. I just get through this time before, by not thinking about it..
