I can understand your anxiety about labour! I had a baby quite recently, and because I had a high risk pregnancy I spent a lot of time at antenatal appointments worrying if everything was going to work out OK (and in the end everything was just fine).
One thing that helped me a lot was the realization that my body was going to be quite involved in labour! It sounds silly, I know... But I happened to read a few books that described childbirth as an erotic experience. I hadn't thought of it that way, but it helped me to realize that I needed to think of labour as an experience of love rather than something frightening and painful. That helped me very much.
I hope it all goes smoothly for you.
