Also what I personally found very helpful was reading books on childbirth & learning how a woman's body works during labour & birth, & why it does what it does. Also I stopped listening to all those horror birth stories that everyone likes sharing. With my 1st I went into labour scared & unsure and as a result didn't have a very good birth experience. 2nd time around I learnt as much as I could & ended up having a completely natural water birth to a 9lb 3oz boy, & I am glad to say I didn't have any tearing because I trusted my body & just went with it instead of fighting against it. I am currently 20.5wks preg with #3 & am glad to say that I am no longer fearful of childbirth & plan on having this one natural too. Goodluck & I hope you find out why your fear is so great, & find a way to work through it so that you are able to enjoy your pregnancy when it happens.
