Dear Peace, O.K., now you need to take a long, deep breath, grab your husband's hand and say "We can do this, we will get through it together". Repeat it about 10 times and then hug for a really long time. Panic is normal AND getting your resources together, beginning now, is your 1st step toward gaining control over the panic. Please read the "Getting through it" topics here and start asking as many questions as you can think of. AS far as being terrified of hospitals- if your husband or someone else very close to you can be there with you, you will be o.k. at the good hospitals. So make sure you pick a good team and a good hospital. Now is the time to get tough. Stay with us so we can help. Amy
