I will be ready when the times comes, but for now I'm still terrified at the thought of pain. I scream at a simple blood test lol. I cant even imagine what I would do giving birth.

It does help to investigate a bit about different births when you´re pregnant, and maybe visit more than one doctor or midwife so you can make an informed choice. Where I live it is a bit difficult to do this, most doctors prefer to have a planned c section because it makes it easier for them, they don´t have to get out of their beds in the middle of the night and of course they can charge more for their services if they perform an operation. Of course, not all of them are like that, but it is kind of "fashionable" to do this. And if you aren´t too informed, or don´t care, they will perform an unnecessary c section. I was lucky that a friend of mine had her baby just before I got pregnant, she is very much into natural medicine and such and she had her son with this midwife, so that is why I got to have my kids in a more natural way.
But the thing is that you can´t really plan a delivery, I think it always goes a bit different than you imagined - sometimes a baby will pop out when you were on your way to hospital, or there is some last minute problem and you have to have a c section when you wanted a natural birth, for example. So it´s best not to take it to heart if you end up doing it in a different way, in the end the important thing is that you and your baby are healthy.
