Hey Blondie. I am Katie and my son is due in about 32 days. I am 20 years old. This is also my first baby and it can be overwhelming at times, I feel the same. But it helps me personally to remember that women have been giving birth since for a long long long time and back in the day it was risky. At least now we have lots of technology and medicine to help.

So try to take it easy it will go by quick when you look back on it!
Do you know if you are having a boy or girl? If so what are you naming him/her?

when i had my first children I had twins first. It was not so bad. I had back labour and it was painful but bareable. You will both be fine. Just remember if you want a epidural get there early other wise you may not get one. After 7 cm they will not give you one usless you have been there for awhile. They will tell you when to push do as they say if they tell you not to even though you need to push do not the ambilical cord could be aroundthe the babies neck so do what they tell you. Went you get closer to your delivery dates PM me and I will give you more of a what is going to happen in the delivery room.
taykare you too

Hey i'm Danni i'm 16 and i have a little girl called Mika who will be 4 weeks old tommorow. Try not to stress about giving birth too much, the more you stress the worse it will be because you're expecting the worst
