Worried about next pregnancy

[Janieb]

I had my son and it was nightmare as far as I was concerned and think I should have another one and I am scared stiff!! I don't know how to shake it and I would really like a brother or sister for my little boy but the longer it goes between it all the more i am paralysed by this FEAR!

I need to know how to combat this, this is linked to dead because it raises all these risks!

Can anybody give me any words of encouragement

hiya hun i was like that after my 1st as i had few problems but my 2nd and 3rd were no problems. my advice is dont read books and dont google about labour etc just go with it and it will all be fine. anything u are unsure about the midwife will put you right on and u can have epidurals etc like i did with my first 2 and had no pain during labour. it is very unusual for bad things to happen in labout these days mate so try and not worry
