Im scared... am I alone on this?

I'm 34 weeks tomorrow and I am TERRIFIED of labor. Not the pain, not the discomfort, but I have such bad anxiety about me or the baby not making it... I've heard all the horror stories and have had everyone assure me it's not likely, but the fact that it's even a small possibility freaks me out more than anything... My coworker just had a friend pass away 2 days after giving birth because she bled out too much at home after..... I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS A THING!!! I'm just scared and wanna know if anyone else feels this way... :(

Its normal,  read your Bible for comfort,  talk to friends or family,  pray often,  sing whatever makes you happy :-) don't take most the stories to heart,  stay focused on good things in life and pack your hospital bags or relook at baby's clothes again and know you got this,  and you will both pull through,  you made it this far right?  Hugs :-) <3

It's normal to be a little anxious about labor. The horror stories are out there, but so are the good stories. Try to relax, things will be ok. The bad things you hear don't happen very often.
