I was given a birthing plan fairly early on with the doctors so I knew what to expect.  I know it's hard not to feel scared but in some respects you have to just focus on doing the best you can now.  Contact your doctor on Monday they should refer you to your local hospital from there you should get support.  PM me if you want a chat <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
