For some women the possiblity of going through something like that might be terrifying, even if it's only a 2% chance.

I remember having a panicky moment with every birth when it hit me that there was no way to avoid the pain!!!! Like maybe I wanted to turn and run, but couldn't. LOL!!!!
I have a good friend who nearly died in childbirth. When she mentions having another child, it scares ME to death.
