I'm scared

Hi I'm about to be due in a 2 mnths time. Honestly, I am scared of what's to come especially the giving birth part. Everyone's telling me that it's gonna be beautiful bcos finally I'm gonna meet my little one but the though of pushing a baby out of my vagina, that freaking scare me. I know there'll be painkillers available and it's totally up to me to take it or not. I mean..should I even be scared???
