What Can I Do if I’m Afraid of Giving Birth?

We understand your concerns about giving birth, as any woman looking to the future has questions about this process. With anything unfamiliar, some fears and concerns come with it. You are not alone.

Our caring and non-judgmental team at Ascend Women’s Center is here for you. We want to offer some tips on preparing for this option as you navigate an unexpected pregnancy.

Feel Better With Preparation 

Preparation brings a sense of clarity and confidence, especially when it comes to something as intense as birth. While you can’t control everything that happens, you can control how you prepare mentally and physically. This is key to a smoother birth experience. 

Be sure to consult your doctor for medical advice. Speak with your OB/GYN, doula, or midwife for birthing advice and support.
