Overcome your Fear of Child Birth

Resolve worries about your new role
Are you frightened by the prospect of becoming a mom? If so, you may be expressing your parenting fears in a more physical form. In Western society, fear of pain is a culturally acceptable way of expressing something more complex. Be honest with yourself about your upcoming parenthood and tackle your fears head on. Attend parenting classes and read books to prepare yourself for becoming a mom. Dr. Verny emphasizes that it's important to choose avenues that empower you rather than making you more afraid, so be wary of Internet sites that promote fear over comfort.
