I wish I wasn't so scared.

This is my first pregnancy and I wish I wasn't so scared. I'm nervous about giving labor. I'm scared that the pain will scare me into a panic attack. I've had panic attacks in the past but I've actually been doing great this entire pregnancy, especially not being on my medication for anxienty. I do plan on having an epidural but sometimes things don't work out the way we'd like. Does anyone have any advice for me so I don't spend my pregnancy worrying about labor and giving birth? I scared of the contractions and the tearing. I know people give birth every day but I've heard a lot of horror stories.
