Labor Anxiety

Leading up to my inducement day my anxiety was at an all time high! I have a low pain tolerance anyways so the pain alone was really making me anxious. But on top of that was all the things I had heard about that could go wrong! I can't with Google sometimes lol. Anyway, it seemed like every night I had a different dream, nightmare, about a bad labor and delivery. I was at the point where I honestly just wanted to keep baby girl in my tummy forever. I was considering a c-section even, until I read about all the complications with that. I had hyped up L&D in my head so much, that the morning of my induction I was so sick. I wish my anxiety hadn't taken over my excitement. My labor was 70+ hours sure, but it wasn't bad. I was pretty comfortable the entire time. I was able to move around however I pleased. The hospital I was at was comfortable as well. My nurses were amazing, the food wasn't bad, and my husband and I enjoyed our days together before baby got there and made our days better. I opted for an epidural because me and my gyno believed it would be the best choice for me and my anxiety. Delivery was great. The only pain I had was my dang hip popped out and I couldn't put it back in because, y'know active labor and all haha. At the end, the anxiety wasn't needed. I'm happy to know that if we get blessed with another child I will be more ready, and hopefully will go into my due date with little to no anxiety
