For ladies that have already gone through labor. How did u relax & get rid of the nerves/fear?

My family kept talking about baby vlothes and toys and that got me distracted. walking a lot and exersicing also helps a lot. honestly once the pain starts it's on you, i kept telling myself that it wasn't about me and that the life of my baby was on God's hands and that helped a lot.

I didn't have many fears only fear was not knowing If I could tell I was in labor but my water broke so I knew. But I calmed myself by watching South Park marathon with the fiancé an my sister came up an kept me busy an talking with me til she had to leave. Once I got the epidural it was pretty much smooth sailing after that

You mean during labor or before?

I just kept on breathing and counting to 10

I guess both @bianca_rose

I didn't have too much anxiety before hand, I'm pretty laid back. During labor I used hypnobirthing, so all breathing techniques and visualization, it worked really well

Ill google/youtube that. Because of work i didnt really have a chance to go to any birthing class or receive any coaching @bianca_rose

Thankyou!

You're welcome, good luck!
