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

While women have been giving birth for thousands of years, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have questions or that it’s abnormal for you to have fears. 

Fear or worry often stems from the unknown, as your brain tries to fill in the gaps. There are several ways to combat that so you can feel confident during both pregnancy and delivery.

At Parkridge Pregnancy Medical Clinic, we help treat the whole woman with our registered nurses and licensed counselors.  Contact us today to set up a free appointment where you can ask questions and learn more about the delivery process.

Learn About the Birth Process 

The more you learn about labor, delivery, and pain management—through discussions with us or through your own research—the more confident and prepared you'll feel for the birth process.

It also helps if you know specifically what you are afraid of, so you can focus on that. Is it recovery or perhaps pain management? 

When you understand what typically happens during labor and delivery, the experience often feels less intimidating and more manageable.

Get the Information You Need About Your Pregnancy

If you're facing an unexpected pregnancy, understanding the details of your pregnancy is an important first step. A free ultrasound at our center can determine how far along you are, whether the pregnancy is progressing, and whether or not the pregnancy is located in the uterus.

While an ultrasound can't answer every question you may have, it can provide important information about your health and available options.

Our Registered Nurses and Licensed Professional Counselors provide no-cost services in a confidential and supportive environment. If you have questions about pregnancy, childbirth, or your options, we're here to help.
