Hi there TellyTubby,

Can I make a suggestion that you & DH,attend a Birthing Class,which will help you learn to enjoy your pg,& relax,they are usually run through the hospital in which you attend,they are well worth it. You could always talk about your pain releif options with your Doctor & Midwife early so they are aware that you would like to use some kind of pain relief....good luck hun,try not to stress so much it`s not good for you or bub,hun.
