I was 20 with my first and absolutely terrified! I have since realized that you can not be relaxed and calm at the same time. Hence I am interested in using hypnosis during labor. Many many free apps out there. If you are scared you will tense up. That just makes it harder on yourself. I also believe that God does not give us anything we can not handle. Think about it, all of your hardest moments in life, you really did overcome. Nobody told me flat out that it hurts. So when it did, I panicked. It does hurt. It hurts a lot. But if you go in knowing that its easier. And don’t fear the pushing, that is actually the less pain. Because youareabletodoso etching about it. If you tear and need stitches, it ok. When the baby comes out you are then numb. You don’t feel them stitching you up. I didn’t get any Novocaine because my mother knocked it off the table. They said it wouldhurt worse if they had to go and get more then stick me with it. If I can do it, you can do.
