Is it bad that I'm scared to die in child birth.  So many things can go wrong and I'm so scared.

Yea I think every pregnant woman definitely thinks about this or at least I have and this is my 3rd pregnancy but honestly I think it's only because I'm 30 now and it's been almost 10yrs since my last child was born. But Cecelia is right it's very rare. No worries or stress hun you and your baby are going to be perfectly fine ☺

Well fears are perfectly normal and common. But all I can say is people really just don't die from child birth anymore. Not in developed countries 3rd world countries im sure but not in civilization. I'm.not saying it can't happen just saying statically there would have top be extreme conditions and crazy things to happen for that and that really.just doesn't happen. Maybe like 1/100000 Idk I read something recently regarding mother/infant mortality rates with repeat cesarean vs vbac that's all I have to go on. Basically it was extremely rare that there was a mortality but that mother mortality was higher in repeat cesarean and infant mortality higher in vbac. But this is even different circumstances than just going into labor for the first ir second time naturally abd those rates were crazy low. I would stress about something like that not worth it dear. Good luck with your pregnancy.
