How far r ya? Yea id say its normal! I feel the same way sometimes! And its weird. . I have this 'phobia' .. Its odd because I can have sex. .But I cant/wont even use tampons or anything because I have this fear of putting things there or taking them out. Lol its weird...But yea, I better get over that quick because soon I will have to push a baby out! We just gotta keep rememebering, as bad as labor may be, imagine what we will have afterwards*

What you are feeling is totally normal. Chances are you have heard horror stories about the delivery room and it has made you a bit scared to go into labor. There are so many great things that happen in that room that nobody ever mentions. The first cry, the cutting of the cord, the holding of that beautiful baby. Everything is worth it. I think that you should just try your hardest to think positive as much as you can!!

Hope this helps
