I thought it was helpful to read as much as I could. Even with my fourth I went over all my books a million times and my last two were 8 days shy of  a year apart. I think knowledge is power. Try to relax b/c getting all workedup won't help. Congrats on your coming addition

Go to this website. It has a ton of information. I think it will help.

What are you scared of exactly?

Don't worry...you can do it...I gave birth to a nine pounder naturally with no problem.  My advice to you is A) educate yourself- some things to read watch are Ina May's Guide to Childbirth, Spiritual Midwifery, Birthing from Within, The Business of Being Born. 

B) Hire a doula

you will be fine....your body is designed for this...yes it hurts but it is not untolerable, especially if you are educated about the process.  Do practice relaxation.
