Generally speaking, after getting married, women will face the phenomenon of having children. Some women do not want to have children early because they are afraid of having children.

Therefore, they have a fear of having children and are unwilling to have children. In fact, this phenomenon is very common in normal times. So how to overcome the fear of having children?

What to do if you are afraid of having a baby

It is normal to have such a mentality, but you can also think like this: having a baby is a normal thing, there is nothing to be afraid of, and it is natural for the baby to fall when the time is right.

Obstetricians and gynecologists suggest that if you have nothing to do during pregnancy, you can read books about what to do during childbirth so that you have an idea in your mind and don’t fight unprepared. You won’t have any wild thoughts or fears.

Talk to your husband more often, ask friends who have given birth for advice, keep yourself in a good mood, and don't create an artificially tense atmosphere.

How to overcome fear of having children

1. Think about what your future child will look like, and a strange feeling of maternal love will rise in your heart. Think about whether the child will look like his father or mother, and you can't wait to see him. The fear in your heart will be reduced a lot.

2. Make mothers realize that giving birth is a normal physiological activity for reproduction and is a natural instinct of human beings.

3. Although childbirth is painful, there is nothing to be afraid of. Being physically and mentally prepared during pregnancy and before childbirth will help you to endure the pain.

4. Communicate more with the doctor before delivery to determine the method of delivery, and let the doctor guide the preparations for delivery according to the situation, such as breathing exercises. You can also consult your doctor about painless delivery, drug-induced analgesia and other delivery methods to relieve labor pain.

5. You should have a positive attitude towards pain during childbirth. This is a normal phenomenon. There is no need to be afraid or anxious. You can give yourself self-suggestion and self-comfort.
