Is it normal to be scared of giving birth?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, being scared of giving birth is very normal. It’s a big, unpredictable experience, and fear doesn’t mean you won’t be able to handle it.
Birth can bring up fears about pain, complications, losing control, or simply not knowing what to expect. Lots of people feel scared, even if they’re also excited about meeting their baby.
You don’t have to talk yourself out of the fear. It may help to tell your doctor or midwife what worries you most and ask what support and pain-relief options are available. Making a plan can help you feel more prepared, even if plans sometimes change.
