Possibly: Anxiety can make eveerything more difficult, including labor. It would be a good idea to begin working on this now so that you don't worry about it your entire pregnancy. Speak to your OB about ways to relax your fears about labor. Most people are nervous a bit about labor and delivery. Focusing on your anxiety disorder only makes this worse.
