Birth trauma

Did anyone have a traumatic birth and are petrified of giving birth again.
My son was a natural birth with no complications but with my daughter I had a major haemorrhage and my whole birth was awful from start to finish- the pain felt so much worse (I was induced) and after I ended up being rushed to emergency theatre and having an emergency ga to remove my placenta as I was loosing so much blood. I can't really remember the first 24 hours of her life because I went straight to high dependency after. I'm so scared I'm going to die when I give birth again this time!

I haemorrhaged with my first and my second they managed very well with drugs for a few hours after birth. It was all well planned but I did worry...

Could you request a section maybe to avoid complications/ avoid anxiety of complications? If you want more children maybe not as sections increase health risks to future babies.
