I also have an anxiety disorder. With my first I had a full blown panic attack while having a c section. All I could do is breath and think about my baby coming. With my 2nd I had a vaginal delivery and anxiety wise it wasn't bad. pain wise it hurt and so much pressure. Even with the pain meds for me

Meditation helped me alot

Your body goes into another mode!

I was terrified with my first but even the time comes all you will be thinking about is getting it done!

I was beyond terrified when I delivered 24w6d and honestly labor wasn't as bad as I thought (5cm when delivered Drs said I shouldn't have delivered til 6-7cm bc of the size of my daughter so felt like I was full term) anyways it was just pressure badly til she was passing thru my pelvic area that hurt like hell then a mom met of relief til she crowned so it's really a lot of pressure )15 in a pain scale and the actual pain well there's no way to justify it but I got thru it all was back rubs and coloring and not thinking of it
