i agree with E586467 about ignoring people's horror stories. they are so quick to tell you how much they tore and how they nearly 'died' during labour. i was determined to not think about their stories and ended up having my first baby, an 8lb 12oz girl, naturally using a birthing pool. i would highly recommend speaking to your midwife about your concerns and ask about the use of a birthing pool. i look back now and i am so proud of myself for relaxing and just going with it, rather than getting all worried and panickly about the labour. if your mum is around i would recommend talking to her about your concerns aswell, my mum was a massive help as i knew she had been through it 4 times and she had some great advice. she taught me how to breathe so i didnt need any gas &air. don't worry in silence, speak to your mum and midwife.
