Is anyone else having fears of dying while giving birth? I know it's common, especially farther along in pregnancy. But all my life I've just been afraid of death in general :S
When my husband and i were trying to conceive, we tried for quite some time but it seemed like nothing was happening but everyone and their sister was getting pregnant. So one night I prayed God please let me at least have a baby before my time is up that's the only thing we've ever wanted.... 2 weeks later, 3 + preg tests. We're so blessed to be expecting but now I think back to that prayer, crazy or not, and it freaks me out even more. I'm so afraid something will go wrong! My husband says I'm being silly and he reassures me that my heart's not going to explode while pushing (lol) I used to have bad anxiety attacks but when I got pregnant, they just went away.
Does anyone here have this awful fear, also? & how can I get rid of it?
