So I’m considering having an baby at some point in the future, but I think childbirth is really scary and horrible.
I’m not even pregnant yet, but have already listened to hypnosis books, read up on all pain reliefs, hospitals etc and I’m still worried.
I don’t really want a c section, or an epidural but what if as many women describe it ‘I feel like I’m going to die’. I don’t want to feel like that, not for anyone or anything.
Is this perhaps a sign I’m not ready for a baby or is this normal behaviour?
Can people share their childbirth experiences, good or bad and if anyone else has felt the same before giving birth please share.
Thanks
