I scare myself all the time too, I end up crying for a few minutes about how I'm going to die and every possible worse case scenario, then i get mad at my boyfriend because he's a man and all of these ridiculous things. Then I realize that no matter what happens I'll be giving birth to a beautiful human being and that's all that matters :)

If the dr let's you take your time with pushing you probably won't tear. But if they rush you to get baby out you'll absolutely tear or need an episiotomy. Just research it more, the less you'll be afraid.
