Hi all.

I’m being induced tomorrow evening as I’m on a blood thinner and they want a controlled birth. This is my first baby.

I am terrified of something bad happening. I had a friend pass away in 2016 from AFE. It’s incredibly rare and the chances of having it are less than the chance of having a normal birth but I cannot stop thinking about it and the possibility of leaving my husband to raise our daughter alone.

Are these normal feelings? Anyone else? I’m just so scared. I like to be in control of my body and situations and I know birth is the last thing I can control.
