Kelli, sorry I missed ur post til now. It's totally normal to be scared. But u will be just fine! I have very low pain tolerance & I made it thru once. Go in w/ a birth plan--it always helps to be as prepared as possible. Make sure ur nurses know u want an epidural as soon as possible (I'd prob tell them as I'm wheeled to maternity and keep tellin them til I got it ). It depends on the doc what their policies are about epidurals. Ur best bet is to ask ur doc b4 u go into labor how soon u can have it. Just know that u will have the strenth and the endurance u need to make it thru. & it will be so worth it.
