I’m pregnant with baby #3. And this time around I have this overwhelming fear of dying during birth. I’m kinda obsessed with thinking about it 😞

I think what’s sparking it is with my second, about 6hours after birth I had intense crippling chest pain for about 30-45seconds. Called the nurse and they didn’t seem concerned but gave be some medication for pain. I didn’t have any complications as far as the birth or pregnancy went.

So for some reason in my head I’m thinking I was dying and it’s definitely going to get me this time. I was 21 at the time of that birth and I’m only 26 now so I’m not really within a range where complications happen more often. All of my blood work and urine tests haven’t shown any issues.

I know it’s a common fear and I plan to bring it up to my doctor at the next appointment but if anyone has any advise or anything to help calm myself down, it would be greatly appreciated 💜
