Scared of giving birth?

[Anonymous]

I hear that you lose a lot of blood especially when you can't give normal birth and have to do cesarean section. I already get light headed, turn pale when needle is inserted in me or when they withdrawal blood. Can I faint during birth and what happens if that occurs? And there's a possibility that I can die? I'm really small but I'm not pregnant... yet. Just a curiously.

I know what you mean about the fear. I'm a medical student, and the more I learn about what can go wrong... I'll have those random moments where I'm like "omg, I just want to live in a bubble." In all honesty, especially in the West, the vast majority of times.. your healthcare goes right. Giving birth may be a crazy experience, but you'll likely come out of it just fine & your baby will likely be fine too. Just think, seeing the little one in your arms, this little angel you created will make every painful or nauseating moment feel worth it :)

My mother had to get a C section for all three of her children. Her birth canal was too narrow. There were issues here and there, but we all came out of it just fine and lived a happy life together. Every individual case is different, but birth is a part of human life. Go for it if you want it, fear not! Unless you genuinely just don't want children.

You'll be fine if you need a c section you be put under in a normal birth there will be blood
