The first thing I'd tell anyone pregnant, would be don't listen to other people. They always give you the worst scenario stories. It is much too soon to be worried about. Talk to your doc & I'm sure he/she will tell you the same thing. If you do need one, it will be because it is the best thing to do for baby & you. Not sure why you are afraid, but I had 2 & they were no biggie. I was more scared of the catheter than of the surgery. The worst thing is the epidural which hurts but just for a minute or so. Recovery is easy & you can help w/pain meds.
