Why are ppl always telling you the bad stories about birth? How it's going to hurt so much, how I have no idea, it's going to be so bad. I try to just ignore them but now I'm starting to think maybe I'm being unrealistic?? Help me get back on the positive track!!

I feel like I can do it, this is what my body was made for, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to do it. But when I say I'm having a natural birth ppl just say things like 'that's what you say now'!! But I really think I'm up for it. In fact, I actually can't wait, what a great feeling and achievement it will be!! I'm not scared at all (yet)!!

Am I supposed to be scared or something? I mean, obviously it's going to hurt and be really hard work, but I can do it!! My body was made to do it!!
