TERRIFIED of giving birth!!!From: anonymous@obgyn.netSun, 31 Aug 2003 23:14:08 -0500 (CDT)
Logically I know everything will probably be fine. I know women VERY rarely die during childbirth these days. I haven't had any complications to indicate a problem. I've been told a half a million things to try to help me relax. I know labor will be more difficult if I can't relax and yet... I can't! I just cannot convince myself my approaching labor isn't my impending death. No one realizes the terror I'm going through that increases day by day. I feel this cold paralysis of fear tightening around me like a noose. I've honestly thought it'd be better if they gave me a C-section because I know myself well enough to know when labor does hit, I'll be screaming in panic, but the doctor's of course won't do that for no good reason. Does anyone have ANY advice that might help? I've thought maybe there might some anti-fear medications out there? Or maybe a doctor who is willing to schedule a C-section without just cause? I know that sounds bad but I'm frantic.
