The answer

A woman who dies in childbirth is considered a martyr, whether the birth was natural or by C-section. The fear of death should be utilized to increase acts of obedience and good deeds, while being careful that this fear does not become a psychological illness. Lifespans are predetermined and terms are fixed; death is not linked to illness or health. One must trust in Allah and rely upon Him, especially since C-sections have become easy with advancements in medicine. If extreme fear persists, a doctor can be consulted. This fear should be repelled by remembering Allah and seeking refuge in Him from Satan.
