I'm on my 9th month pregnancy now and I am still having a mixed emotions about it. I did read a lot of books, articles on the internet and talk with almost everyone about delivering a baby. It makes me afraid of watching natural birth delivery on the net but I want to know every details about it so I could lessen my nervousness. Is this just normal for a first time mother?

My advice is for you to focus on the positive. Think of your baby and how exciting it would be to see her for the very first time. Think of how much love you will feel as soon as you see her first smile. Imagine how happy your life would be once your baby becomes a big part of it. Try not to think about the pain because take it from me, all the pain goes away as soon as you see your baby for the first time. I have read somewhere that a woman's brain is designed to forget pains fo childbirth. So, relax and just take a deep breath. I will not lie to you, childbirth is painful, but believe me, it's all worth it. It's ALL worth it.

I was nervous like that with my first child. My mind was just racing about things that could go wrong but after all was over with I had a perfect little girl.
