Anxious first time mummy

Hey mummies! Word of advise for me please? I’m suddenly so scared and worried for labour! Currently 35week and never been this anxious! I’m scared of all the pains, injections, induced etc. One moment I’m okay, another I feel so sick!😢 #advicepls #1stimemom #😭

Was thinking, if I’m scared of injections, how am I gonna get epidural as they will still need to inject my back😭 it’ll be so painful to be poke at the back!

I am also very scared of needles but I swear it's not even painful but like an ant bite if you keep really, really still! I took epidural 4 times (I gave birth naturally 4 times). You can't even see the needles. Talk to your husband when they're trying to insert the needle. Divert your attention to something else. It helps! Otherwise, opt for the gas mask.
