The key to an awesome labor is being calm. It is painful, but once it's over you have a beautiful little baby to cuddle which makes it so much better! Also pain medicine, which helps. You just have to stay calm and things will go smoothly. I was in labor for 36 hours and had nearly 2 hours of pushing(there were some issues with my pregnancy) and still would do it all over again. It will be fine momma!

@angelface416, awe it'll be ok mamma!! I was the same way but I promise you'll get a sense of calm when the time comes. It makes everything easier to remain calm and help keep that blood pressure under control :-) good luck
