I'm literally so terrified of labor and it's not the fact I'll be pushing out a 6-9lb baby it's the contractions! Everything I read is about how bad and horrible the contractions are and I really wasn't scared at all about that until I realized I'm almost 40 weeks and she could be here any day now!
some women contractions are jot bad but mines were ... and I have high tolerance to pain .... but believe me after your baby is born , that pain just melts away
I just had my baby on January 26th and yes it does hurt but not like people explained. it felt like I had to go poop really really bad and had a tummy ache. but I got the epidural after they broke my water bag because my contractions went straight to their highest peak
