I'm in my thirty-seventh week, and I can't sleep all night for fear of labor pains.

I've entered the thirty-seventh week, but I really can't sleep at night from fear. My mom says it was very tough, and everyone around me keeps scaring me, as if everyone's birth experience was terrible. Honestly, I'm going crazy thinking about whether I'll still feel that pain even if I get an epidural. Those with experience, please give me some advice, am I overreacting?

Honestly, the exaggeration of those mothers and the surrounding people never ends anyway, everyone's pain threshold is different. Just because you're in your thirty-seventh week, they've stressed you out, but that fear tires a person more than the actual pain.

I also had that insomnia and fear at night, I was literally staring at the ceiling thinking about the birth. Once you get the epidural, you don't feel those contractions anymore, you just feel a pressure, that's all. So you're just worrying for nothing in your head.

Talk to your doctor in advance to find out how many centimeters of dilation they expect for the epidural, I think. Some hospitals can be slow, so you need to make sure that the anesthesiologist will be there at that moment; just ask them directly.
