Mental prep: If you can, attend classes offered for delivery preparation. They help you mentally anticipate and prepare.Find comfort in knowing that a lot of safe options are available to control pain during delivery and your delivery can be quite comfortable with adequate preparation.

Epidural is a great medical option, some hospitals also have patient self administered nitrous oxide inhalation pain control.

Counsel OB MD: You need to talk to a OB GYN MD and possibly a therapist. If you are already pregnant start with the OB MD who can help you with delivery preparation. Knowledge of delivery events offset fear. If you are not pregnant, speak with a therapist prior to conceiving to decide if this is a course (pregnancy & delivery) you want to pursue or not.

Muscle pain?: Pain in back muscles is more common reason for this complaint than actual kidney pain. But kidney stone possibility cannot be ruled out. Also, could be related to kidney infection esp if you have signs of of UTI e.g. Burning, frequency, or foul odor with urination. A visit to your doc will help differentiate this.
