Fear of dying during child birth

anonymous

I'm pregnant with my 2nd and with my first I had this fear as well but now it's worse because I have my 1 year old son who needs me. I'm having a scheduled c section and I'm terrified I'll die during the surgery. My first c section didn't go to good and my blood pressure dropped right after and the numbing went to far up I was numb from the neck down and freaked out. I'm dreading having to say good bye to my son before heading to the hospital. I'm going to break down. I'm normally a very anxiety filled worry wart who always thinks the worst. I'm just so scared and I just had to stumble upon a story of a women dying during the birth of her son and now I can't stop thinking about it 😫😭💔 it's just so dam sad.
