Think about how many women have babies.  Our bodies are designed to do it.  In all but a few rare cases, everything goes smoothly.  

I would talk to the doctor about anxiety.  This could be relate to hormones and this will then increase when you give birth.  Post partum is real and can make for one miserable mama.  So, doctors like to know when their patients are obsessing, worrying excessively or suffering anxiety to be prepared in case they need to come up with a game plan of treatment once the baby arrives.  good luck

It's rare to die during childbirth. It's a normal fear that a lot of mums will think about but with medical science where it is the doctors are prepared for a lot

Very slim. With the technology we have these days, it would take quite a bit. I had the same fears. Don't worry. You'll be fine.
