Ladies, is it normal to be kind of terrified of something going wrong with you during birth? I've been feeling anxious and kind of scared about it. I'm sorry if this is a downer question and I apologize if I made anyone else feel anxious about it, I just don't like feeling this way and need some advice.

Definitely. Birthing classes, watching live births of all kinds, and reading about all kinds can help.

I really thought about it, and made sure I talked to my husband about my fears, and if something happened, what/how I wanted things handled... it made things easier for me.

@dreamermom My husband tells me he doesn't want to talk about bad things that could happen but I'm going to have to let him know why it's important to do talk about it

@venomadams956, exactly! I explained that if something bad happens I know it would be hard for him to make a decision... so I told him if it comes down to it, and it was a choice of me or the baby, I wanted him to choose the baby! Talking about it helped me feel like I had a bit more control, even though most of the 'bad things' would be totally out of my control!
