Do you worry about going to hell over it?

Get your facts straight. The Catholic Church is not against all birth control; it's only against artificial means of contraception.
The Church is in favor of, and highly recommends, Natural Family Planning.
And I don't worry about going to hell over this. I haven't practiced artificial birth control since I found out how serious a sin it is.

Again, you don't go to Hell because you used artificial birth control. The reason why this rule is here is because the Church wants to emphasize the sanctity of all life and the meaning behind sexual interactions between married couples.
Artificial contraception denies the possibility of the gift of life that God gives to married couples. Reproduction is a natural occurance and should not be tampered with.
Some would say that this leads to overpopulation, but there are natural solutions to this problem that humans also try to circumvent. Bottom line: when you mess with the natural order, things get more complicated than it should be.

i don't really care about it. i don't think about it. for me, its fine, it's not like ur aborting a baby. why would u go to hell when u do birth control? if a woman doesn't want to get pregnant than that's her decision.
