My wife and I just had our first. A beautiful little girl.

I'm 21, I had no idea how to be a dad. It was scary. It was nerve-wracking.

But you'll be ok. First of all, death during child birth doesn't happen so often anymore. Second of all, birth defects can be traced and found out and if you're perfectly healthy, typically so too will be the baby.

Let me also say, you want a vaginal birth. C-sections are tough. Really, really tough. Long healing times, disfiguring scars, etc. Vaginal is 100% the way to go. Just get online and do some research. I was scared, but now I'm a dad, I wouldn't trade her for anything.

Sorry if I missed the point of this post.
