Talk 2 ur wife's OB: And better though try not to read much blogs on the net, pls read trusted web sites of major medical institutes, irrational fear can be helped more, if those measures don't work, by getting evaluated by a psychiatrist, hope that helps and hope u have a happy family.

The fact that you : Know the fear is irrational is important. It is very rare in this day and age for women to die in childbirth. I would encourage you to meet with a psychologist and talk about your fears. Did someone you know die during childbirth? In a few sessions you should be able to reduce the anxiety you have about child birth. Your wife may want you there with her and you need to feel comfortable helping her.
