Thanks all for your kind words, you've made me all emotional! See -you've all proved it can't be that bad by going back for more. I just have to be tough!! Like you all said, once you go into labour you are too busy concentrating so haven't the time to get nervous. As you can tell, I'm a bit of a sook, and I think its more the fact of loosing control of my body - that I'm afraid of - not being able to control what is going on. It makes me feel very vulnerable. My DH is great, and I'm sure he will be helpful on the day, so I just have to get over it. But its good to hear its normal, and i'm not loopy lah- lah!
