My fried is going to deliver her first child next month. She is very nervous about the pain that she might have to undergo at the time of delivery. This makes her health bad. Could you give me some tips to soothe her and give her confidence.

First thing, I want to know if your friend goes to OB-Gyne for check-up? If not, tell her to do so because doctors know exactly how to make things easier for her. She'll be given leaflets and books to read about pregnancy, delivery and post natal problems and solutions. You can't expect her not to worry since it is going to be her first child. However, telling her stories of other mothers who gave birth safely will surely calm her down... I hope this will help. Regards!
