Honestly, before I actually gave birth, I was always scared of something happening to me or baby during labor. And these scenarios are rare but it happens. I try my best not to stress about it. And my hubby and I had several talks about if it comes down to it, whether we'll save me or baby. But.. when you're actually in labor, its a total different story. Your contractions will be the only thing on your mind. And you will only focus on delivering that baby safely. I can't even remember half the things the nurses and doctors said to me. I just knew I had to push the baby out. And you won't have time to think about bad things happening.

I wasn't suppose to make it through it with my daughter cuz of my health issues and both my husband and I knew that but by the grace of God I made it I just talked to him about it and prayed a lot and I made it through it no problem on fact my birthing went really well had no problems having my daughter what so ever. Now I'm not trying to be the religious kind and throw god out there but if you believe in a higher power I would pray. It helps and it works I'm a strong believer in that. But don't worry I know it's scarey to think about and freaks you the **** out cuz. I did the whole nine months even my husband did but try to just think positive cuz your bringing a beautiful baby into this world and you will feel for that child ands if you never felt for anything else in your life. Just try not to stress pretty Lil mamma everything will be fine and send in fact I will keep you in my prayers:)

I wouldn't stress about it, stress isn't good for either one of yalls health. It is normal to be paranoid about everything. Some women are calm throughout their pregnancy while others are calling their doctor for everything. Trust your body, for all your body knows what it can take.. Just try and relax and enjoy your pregnancy, i know it may be hard for you but try. I'm not sure of you're religious or not, if you are leave it all up to the lord he knows what's best for you. If not then sorry please disregard that statement... You'll be fine, the doctors know what they're doing and won't let you die (: focus on keeping yourself and your baby healthy throughout the pregnancy and everything will be ok. There should not be any problems what so ever! You'll do great and be Great mother to your baby.
