I dont know why everyone has to tell horror stories about giving birth. I had a natural birth and it felt like really bad cramps and pressure. But thats probably because my mom told that it would feel like cramps. Alot of the pain is in your mind just remember that and you will be ok. Also go to a birthing class they will talk you through everything tell how everything is done. Have someone in the delivery room that you really trust that will support you and you will be ok. And if it does hurt get an epidural. Don't let people scare you everyone just likes to sound alot braver than they really are.

Honey, they're right. It's going to be the worst pain you've ever felt. And the only pain you'll ever be glad to have felt. Giving birth HURTS. It feels like something is trying to trip your insides out. But you'll forget it the instant they lay that baby in your arms and you look at his face for the first time.
Look into a birthing class honey, like lamaze. For my first child, my water broke first and labor didn't start, so they induced me. That ups the ante a bit, cause it made labor really intense (when it starts on its own it's much easier to deal with). Don't be afraid to use drugs if you need them. With my second, labor started and it was over in less than three hours. But I used some breathing techniques I was taught that got me through some of the worst of it. They really do work. most of all, don't panic. That was the mistake I made the first time around; I panicked and didn't know how to handle the pain.

I'm not going to lie to you; of course, it does hurt. However, by the time you are nine months pregnant you are so tired of being big and also so thrilled about meeting the baby that the pain seems minor in comparison to getting the whole birthing thing done and over with.
If you can, you should purchase the book "What to Expect When You are Expecting" or check it out from your local library. It is a great book about being pregnant, with lots of tips and helpful information about what is going on with your body and the baby.

How far along are you? Sugar, giving birth is very painful but it is also the most amazing thing a woman will ever do in her life. I have three children and delivering each one was a different experience for me. Normally, your water breaks when it is time for your labor to begin. You will begin to have contractions that should begin in the lower back and go to the front. It is quite painful so please, make certain that you have a good support system when you begin with your labor. Try taking some prenatal classes, that will give you lots of information.

Should have thought about that before you made the decision to have unprotected sex. It is going to be the worst pain in your life. And now we the tax payers are going to have to pay for your foolish mistake of unprotected sex. Yes you are not going to be able to support your self and your teenage boyfriend will not be able to support you or your child. So get ready for a life time of depending on other (strangers) to help you out. Thanks to you our taxes go up and we can't afford to give insurance to people who really deserve it. Oh one more thing, you might want to get tested for HIV, GONORRHEA, SYPHILIS, CHLAMYDIA AND HPV while your at it. Since I am sure that you were not smart enough to do that before you had unprotected sex.

I found out i was 10week pregnant in feburary this year i wasnt working and i was living with my parents. i decided that i couldnt provide and be a good mother to my baby if i kept it so i had a termination (abotion). i told my parents and they were totally understood my choice. if you do decide to keep that baby i would sugest that you tell your parents they might be angry at first but they will understand and fully stand by your decision hope this helps...

Please reconsider ... you are too young to give birth to a child. It drains you physically and emotionally. Take your own time and think over it all over again. Its not a joke to give birth at such young age.
