| Try not to let it frighten you. Yes birth is complicated, there is a lot going on, but your body is built for it and it knows what to do. You might try reading a book on natural childbirth. The one I have read, and is awesome, is Ina May Gaskin's Guide to Childbirth. The first section of the book is all natural home child births. By the time I finished that half, it made me feel amazing, strong and so ready for birth. The second half is the mechanics of what is going on during labor. For me, I want to know what is happening, it makes it less scary when you know what is going on. |
