Here's a link to an article in Pregnancy Beat by Charlotte Sanchez (CPM) - a Certified Professional Midwife and Childbirth Educator. It lists some of the top fears in childbirth. Perhaps you recognise some of them as your own?
Charlotte lists...
- A fear of not making it to the hospital in time or arriving too early in labor.
- A fear your doctor or midwife may not be available when labor starts and you end up with someone different.
- A fear your birth plan will not be taken seriously or totally disregarded.
- A fear of feeling unbearable pain.
- A fear of being confined to a hospital bed unable to stand or walk.
- A fear of receiving unnecessary interventions without an alternative such as episiotomy.
- A fear of having accidental body function such as urination, bowel movement or vomiting.
- A fear of the umbilical cord being around the neck of the baby.
- A fear of receiving interventions that will lead to fetal distress.
- A fear of fetal distress that ends with a cesarean delivery.
- A fear of being separated from your baby or being prevented to bond properly.
- A fear of death of the baby during labor and birth.
