No one can prepare you for labour, no matter who you talk to, what they tell you etc etc. You will never be ready, Take all the advice you can get but everyone's labour is different. No two labours are the same, and everyone deal's with pain differently too. So honestly don't over think it, It's so okay to be absolutely terrified especially when it's your first but I promise you all If I can do it, absolutely anyone can do it!!!!
