I am happy you have come forward to ask about this query.
There are many reasons for such fear like exaggerated bad experience stories told by friends, tight hymen, fear of pregnancy, fear of bleeding, fear causing pelvic muto tighten and cause pain ( vaginismus ) etc
But only a detailed ine to one discussion with a sex therapist or gynecologist can help you overcome fear
So find one in your area and meet the right doc
Remember Sex is part of life, a basic hunger that if not satisfied can also cause mental agony.
Every one goes through these apprehensions.
Next Steps
Fear can be overcome by distraction of mind from the act like doing relaxation exercises etc which can help
use of luvricants can ease entry too
your husband can also be guided how to proceed gently and which position to adopt
