I definately feel more scared the second time round as my first birth was traumatic and i guess i'm carrying alot of stuff from that. I 'don't remember feeling all that scared with DD, just trusted my body would know what to do but it didn't co-operate and i had a posterier baby which is notoriously painful and traumatic. Now i'm scared of having a 50hr labour again only to end up with an epidural forced upon me and a forceps delivery. I am also scared of what the ring of fire will feel like but the thing i'm scared the most about is PPH again as it triggered anxiety issues for me and i felt like crap for weeks. I'm also super scared of tearing after having an episiotomy last time and that my varicose veins 'down yonder' will burst though i've been assured this won't happen.
