chance of dying?

[desdecker2349]

With todays technology and  experienced doctors what are the odds of dying during child birth? i've never none of it happening to anyone since like the 90s and I know anything could go wrong but can someone help to put my mind at ease?

I have this same fear, I'm a ftm & I'm sooo worried something will go terribly wrong then I won't be here for my sweet baby... I've always had this fear, but especially now that I'm actually pregnant. I know that it used to happen a lot, but it's rare now. So I know I'm probably worrying over nothing but I'll be so relieved once delivery is over & I have him/her I'm my arms! Glad I'm not the only one with this fear! Lol

It's very rare, I'm sure all will be fine. My husband was terrified of me dying during both of my deliveries, I've had 2 c-sections, first was emergency after 12 hours of labor, 2nd was planned, and I got through both of them healthy. Unless you have major, major issues, it's very unlikely anything like that would ever happen. When you're in labor, you know what to do instinctively, it will feel natural, and the excitement will override any anxiety you have, I promise! :)

I feel the same. I makes me scared to have a vbac even though I have been pushimg for one.

Me neither, that's the only thing that makes me  feel better. I'm not just worrying about myself, I just want to be here to watch my baby grow up! But im sure i'm over worrying. Just can't help it

I've lately have that feeling too like somethings gonna happen when I have this baby...I haven't heard of anyone dying recently in the states over child birth.
