I can definitely relate with your post. Before giving birth to my daughter, I was terrified of going into labour, but it’s just one of those things that you just go through with a positive mindset 🙂

That is definitely so true about movies and birth videos! I was terrified of giving birth and kept just putting it out of my mind, assuming when the actual day came I would deal with it then! My mother always told me it wasn’t so bad, and I rationalized that people wouldn’t have more than 1 if it was really terrible. I don’t even remember much about the day other than them placing my beautiful baby on my chest!
