Is it normal to be afraid to give birth?

is it normal that I really want a child in the near future, but am afraid of going through the whole pregnancy cycle? And the pain of it all?

    I am the same way. So scared. For me it's the episiodomy that freaks me out not the pain.

    A natural birth is better for the baby and the mothers health. Recovery time is shorter. And they have epidurals. I've never had one, but I have a high threshold for pain. Either way, the pain is worth the end result!

    The pain is worth it!! And don't listen to anyone who tries to tell you it's bad.

    PLEASE consider adopting.
    Otherwise get a c-section? Or a surrogate.
