I think the number one thing im scared of is something bein wrong wit my daughter after shes born.... Nd secod to that i would have to say tearin or gettin cut nd if that happens the pain after wards.. My bestie tore so bad wit her son she could barely walk nd she said it hurt super bad to pee after nd she said she had sex fur the first time a lil after 2 months nd she said she cried cuz she was still hurtin so much..

Im scared of being at home waiting for my hubby to take me to the hospital and my labor goes fast :' both of my moms kids barely had any labor at all before she was ready and my dr said women are usually a lot like their moms or sisters during labor
:/ tearing or getting cut is a little bit of a worry im not worried about a c section so much but i really want to try and avoid it and the longer recovery time than with natural :/

It's so weird, I'm not even the slightest bit worried about the contractions, a possible C-section or a possible epidural needle.. I'm scared about tearing/and episiotomy, using the toilet for days after, and most of all caring for another life a few days after where I feel like I should feel like crap and want to rest! It would be nice if you could put your body through such trauma just to relax for a few days after.. with a newborn you can't do that :/

Tearing, gettin' cut down there, pooping (even though It's normal and I prolly won't even notice If I did),  having an emergency C-Section, passing out, having a still birth, the list goes on...

I'm just nervous about the first night home..me and my hubby aren't really around babies..so its all new to me. I'm ok with the labor and all that because our bodies are made to have babies so I'm not worried..plus I'm pretty good with pain like needles and such..i have tattoos and piercings (i did the piercings myself) and giving blood ect is not a problem..i just don't like cramps but is ok..i got this:)

Passing out...I don't handle pain too well, I almost passed out last time I got an IV so this is going to be interesting! My ultimate fear is having something Go wrong with my baby. I will make it through labor pains and all that goes along with it, but if something happens to my baby then they might as well just transfer me to the psych ward

It was horriable, my husband said the anesthesiologist put two syringes in IV the yelled at a nurse who ran out of the room and got two more for him to put in my IV and after that I was out cold for three hours. I was told that it happens to less than 3% of women so the chances of it happening again or to one of you are very low, but I'm still very scarred...

Ohh gosh, my list has a few! An episiotomy, having to have a c-section, baby not breathing, something happening to me during labor, having a bowel movement during pushing! (LOL)
But I leave it all in Gods hands! I know He will protect me and my son!!

I'm scheduled to have my second C-section in March. Durring my first c-section about half way through I was suddenly able to feel everything only I didn't feel it in my stomach I felt it in my chest. I had whats called transfered pain, It was the worst thing I've ever been through in my life. It felt like someone plunged and knife into my shest and drug it nipple to nipple over and over again until they were finally able to knock me out. My husband said he's never heard someone scream like that before, and he's been in Iraq twice and Afganistan once. He thought I was going to die... I'm so very afraid of someting like that happening again...

My biggest fear is having to maybe get a c section. Not that I'm at risk for getting one or anything like that, I just am terrified of the thought. I would haaaaaaaaaate that.
My silly fear is pooping on the baby during labor lol. I know it doesn't really matter nd I won't even notice during the pushing, but its still like making me nervous thinking about it haha

I am completely scared of my csection. My first was incredibly traumatizing i blacked put 4 time during surgery, my biggest fear is the spinal block. I blacked out from hyper ventilating with my first so i didnt feel a thing but this time its planned, gotta be at the hospital at 5:30am and csection is at 730 am :( im definitely scared to be sitting there that long getting myself all worked up!

I am scared of losing a lot of blood. I love my baby just don't wanna die after delivery. After the first post hemorrhage I never thought I wanted another baby. I just pray they're ready for me when I go into labor

My first was 8½ pounds and I never got cut or tore, I spent my whole labor with a warm washcloth on my ladybits and my doctor massaged my perineum really well before I started pushing. I'm terrified of having an emergency csection :/ and of hubby passing out
