Why do I read these crazy birth stories and freak myself out right before bed😩

Le

Anyone else do this....

Ready for bed come on the app and click on a birth story...of course I click on one with all these complications extreme blood loss baby and mother almost die and now all I can think about is that will be me.....

Or I will pass out frm iv or from pain puke everywhere and never make it through...

Or pushing out the placenta....how will I do that or if I tear that’s going to kill..

The epidural being put into my already messed up back my anxiety will be crazy then trying to get that in...

Or better yet I’ll have to have a csection and my anxiety and panic will be on 1000 in the operating room I’ll feel every pull in my stomach and lose too much blood and bleed to death...

I do suffer frm anxiety and panic ever since I was a child but being pregnant this was my fear..labour I waited till I was 36 to try for my first and so scared of every birth story I’ve read.

Am I the only one here like this?

I get my blood taken I faint, I have to go to doctors appointments I have extreme anxiety.....how will I make it through labouring at home till I’m 5cm?!!!!!!!

Freaked myself out yet again....

Any advice❤️
