I know what you mean, but I'm trying not to let myself worry or be scared. Instead I'm doing all that I can to educate myself about birth and the different options that are available (BTW I can't recommend the Active Labor book highly enough) so that I'm as informed as I can be. I suppose for me, the more informed I am, the more in control I feel, and the less I worry about it, iykwim?

We've just started our hospital classes and the midwife who is doing them has one saying that she thinks is key to a good labor ? open mind = open cervix.

So I'm trying to latch on to that mantra and just let what happens, happen. Yes I have an idea of how I want my labor to go, but I'm leaving myself open to changing my mind along the way... open mind, open cervix.

Good luck for the rest of your pregnancy!
