Am I the only one who's terrified of childbirth?

I don't know if it would make sense to call it a phobia- but it's really bad. I'm still young so it's not an actual issue; but whenever I think abt my future, it terrifies me knowing that I'll probably have to go through it at least once (since I want at least one biological kid when I do have kids) Especially since I've heard many moms talk about how horrible pregnancy and labor is. I know it's not the same for everyone, but I really don't want to take that risk lol. I wish there were some possible way to have your own bio child without having to be pregnant or give birth to it 10.0.0.0.1 192.168.1.254 .

And I REALLY don't think it'll be a "oh you'll change your mind when you're older" thing; because that seems to be the only way people respond whenever I say so.
