BIRTH FEARS / TRAUMA DEBRIEFING: Fears around birth are very common, regardless of whether it's your first time or fifth. Examples of birth fears include: - It will be so painful - I won’t cope - Will I feel out of control on gas and air? - Will morphine affect my baby? - I hate needles - I don’t want to be in labour for days - What if I don’t get to hospital in time? - What if my support person isn’t allowed in to support me? - What if I don’t like my midwife / doctor - I’ve heard vaginal examinations can be painful? - What if I tear? - What if they cut me? - What if I poo during birth!? - What if my baby doesn’t breathe? - What if my baby has something wrong with it? - I don’t know how to be a parent!
