I want a baby so bad, but I’m scared to die in childbirth

I’m sorry you are anxious. Can you say more about why you are anxious. How old are you? Do you have a partner? Do you have other health issues?

Health anxiety is definitely treatable. Have you had any therapy?

am I right that you already have a child (or children)? How old? How was the birth?
