       Pregnant women's fear of childbirth sometimes persists throughout their pregnancy. Experts point out that although childbirth is painful, it is not that scary, and being mentally and physically prepared can help endure the pain. You should have a positive attitude when dealing with pain during childbirth. You don't need to be afraid or anxious. You can use self-suggestion and self-comfort.

      1. Transfer the fear of childbirth to other aspects

      This is the idea of ​​​​"the boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge". Do not consider childbirth as a serious matter, avoid talking about childbirth with family members in your life, and do not listen to other people's childbirth experiences. Doing so can temporarily divert attention from the fear, but it cannot fundamentally eliminate the fear of childbirth.

      2. Face the fear of childbirth

      Discuss the delivery with your family over and over again, think through all possible problems in advance, and find solutions to each problem. Make material preparations before delivery so that you won't be in a hurry and it will also help stabilize your mood.

      3. Master the knowledge related to childbirth

      Most of people's fears are caused by lack of scientific knowledge and random thoughts. Some scholars said: "Stupidity and instability generate fear, but knowledge and security reject fear. ”Some scholars further pointed out that "when knowledge is complete, all fears will disappear." Therefore, during pregnancy, it is recommended that pregnant women read some books about childbirth. After understanding the entire childbirth process, they will replace fear with a scientific mind. This method is not only effective, but also increases knowledge.
