Erm..not to be alarmist or risk sounding naive...

We had our first antenatal class today complete with birth video and cannot get rid of the imagery, both from the terrible 80s style jumpsuits and facial hair and the full on super close ups...

Im really freaking out now...this is actually going to happen and while Im ok with that I cant help but think I shouldnt have watched it but just went with my body and how it feels at the time...(usually not a fan of the gory bits on NCIS lol)..but I understand being informed is important too..How can I visualise "the zone" or meeting my baby etc when all I think Im gonna see are those images...

Encouragingly all 3 women on the video were pretty chatty straight after the fact so I see the pain kind of disappears in the aftermath

Can anyone please let me know if they felt like this but were able to find a happy place in their mind in the end?

Thanks, Natty
