I have a terrible fear..

I'm 35 weeks 6 days! I have a serious fear of dying either during labor or shortly after. I haven't told anyone because I don't want people to think im crazy. But I'm being 100% honest right now. It often makes me cry and have heartache! I'm 19 and usually don't think so negatively but I can't help this. ): its not from the pain I don't think, more so bleeding to death or complications ):

I had the exact fear when I was 19 and having my first child. But the nurses are really helpful and guided me all the time. You'll be fine too. Its normal to be scared of something unknown. Best of luck and wishes!
