I wasn't scared of childbirth. I educated myself and did my fair share of research, and that made me feel a little more prepared.

I like trying to get pregnant, I'm not so sure about childbirth.

I know we can't always know what medical surprises may happen during childbirth. But my hope is to go fully natural - no epidural, no interventions. Wish me luck.

I like trying to get pregnant. I'm not so sure about childbirth.

I am not finding pregnancy much of a joy. I am afraid of childbirth, but I am afraid I can't find a way of avoiding it.

As I said before, I'm prepared to be prepared and I think that remains the same, you know there's no way to really know what it's going to feel like. I think for each individual it's different.

There is no real way to prepare yourself for having a child other than just getting thrown in the deep end pretty quick.

We're going to do a natural birth. At first she was like, 'We should do it at home,' and I said, 'Look, either way, when you go into labor, I will be checking into a hospital... so if you want to come along, come along.

Nothing can prepare you for the all-consuming nature of motherhood, and I am very aware of my good fortune, as I spent years fretting about whether I'd ever meet anyone to have a baby with.

I am not the first person to give birth naturally. Billions of other women have come before me and have done this - so why can't I do it?
