What does giving birth feel like?

I have had 2 children. They are teenagers now, and labor feels great to the pain they are in my butt now! LOL.

My daughter was my first child, weighing in at 6 lbs 13 oz. I had her natural and she was a breeze. I got to the hospital at 4:30 she was born at 6:19. She has always been impatient. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t something that you want to feel down there everyday, but just knowing that I was giving birth to MY baby was just about all of the drug I needed to get through it. Then came my FAT little baby boy that had shoulders as broad as a grown man. Labor was 14 hours long, and I BEGGED for an epidural. After that it was fine. I will tell you this, if you decide to do the epidural, don’t wait 10 hours into it to have it. Plan ahead so that they can have it all lined up and no waiting and it is easier when your labor starts rather than when it is so intense because the epidural itself is painful, leaning over when you are in the middle of a contraction from hell is not easy. I had to have 2 epidurals because the first did not take.

You will see that it really isn’t is as bad as tv makes it look. It is the most wonderful, and most precious thing in the world. ( Not only that, when your kid gets older it is SOOO great to throw it back at them when they are being obnoxious teenagers. Good ammo for guilt trips! That is a mom’s best defense.) I am just joking about the guilt trip thing. Being a mom is hard, but there is nothing in this world that I enjoy more. My kids are my everything. Take every moment to hold, kiss, and cuddle that precious baby. They grow up so fast. My daughter will be graduating this year. She is a beautiful young woman, and it will be so hard for me when she leaves.

Congrats to you, and never fear… you will be just great.

I have 3 kids and I’m pregnant with my 4th. Had them all naturally WITHOUT any form of anesthesia. my choice. I wanted to feel everything because babies go thru a lot too and I didnt want to spare myself when I knew the baby was going to go thru the same thing without anethesia. It’s not easy. It’s hard labor to say the very least. the pain is blinding. BUT… once its over, and the baby is in your arms, wow. the memory of the pain doesnt even last for 10 minutes. Its replaced by pure motherly joy. enough to bring tears to your eyes. And you know in your heart, you and your baby endured it together. :-)

congrates on the 1yearolf kid!!! now!!! how did it go???

oh and you have to wear it 24/7 only take it off to use the bathroom or shower wear it for 6 weeks!!! I promise it works!!! Oh and drink lots of water and slab vitamin e oil on your tummy religiously and maintain your weight gain i did that and got no stretch marks and my sis did the opposite and got a ton!
