I was never afraid of giving birth with both of my children. I couldn't wait for it to happen!

I have given birth to 5 children. Am now expecting twins.
Yes, I'm scared. And I have gotten a little scared every time. There's always the million questions that will run into your head. Will everything be ok, will my baby come out ok, will I be ok afterward, what if there's a problem...
But - at the end, you do what you gotta do. Get the baby out, do your best. It's all in God's hands anyways.
I don't take my chances with any of it. Request my usual anesthesiologist, & make sure that I'm giving birth in my hospital. That way if something does go wrong - there's an entire hospital of specialists to help with each and every need that could possibly go wrong.

I've had both a vaginal birth and a c section. Neither experience was as bad as I feared, or as smooth as I hoped. With my first (vaginal) I was in labor 26 hours. Ro had 12 inch shoulders (had the doctors known this pre-birth they would have sectioned) and was stuck. She was coded at birth, was revived and spent a week in the nicu. Even with me epi the pain was intense, but not as bad as I feared. It is a very "clean" pain, no lingering sensation between contractions. My recovery was good too because i didn't have an epesiotamy ( the birth was so slow it wasn't needed).
The c section was super scary but it went well. the recovery was worse than expected though. Very painfull.
The thing is, it is all worth it. No matter how bad the pain. Once you look into your babies eyes none of it matters.

I'm a guy and I'm not. But it was scary watching two wives give birth and realize that all through the labor pains there was a d, um darn thing I could do to help at that point (Lamaze classes were just a joke to give couples something to do and discuss the actual birthing process). I must admit, though, that both of my wives were much, much more cautious about sex after the baby was born.

No I enjoyed mine. I didn't have pain at all and I didn't have any drugs. I was at home and slept through my second one. I woke up the next morning my contraction went from 7 to 1min. apart. So my husband and I decided to go to the hospital. When we arrived I was already 5cm. I went from 5 to 8 to 10 within two hours. Both of my labors were great. My nurse both times couldn't believe I was in labor until she looked at the monitor. I was told I was the best mom in labor they had ever had.
Besides by time you reach 9 months you can't wait for that baby to come out. There will be not fear.

Actually, I was never afraid because I knew that I could always get an epidural! I was also very excited to finally meet my son. With my daughter, I knew what to expect, but I got to the hospital too late to have a pain free birth!

OMG I never thought about it until I spoke to my cousin who is a doctor and is workin in Gynaecology. The pain a woman goes before, during and after is soooooo bad - I just hope it's all worth it.
I know it's abad example to base on but have you seen that episode of Friends where Rachel delivers....it's so emotional and that makes you realise how it's worth all the physical pain because you get that deep inner meaning. But I know I will be looked after my beautiful hubby!

It is natural to feel fear when pregnant and during birth, but it passes and pain takes over. It is good to get medicine for pain if you need it, but if you are brave you can go natural childbirth. Women have given birth for a million years, it is a blessing.

My first child I was a lil scared cause i didnt know how much it hurt till they gave me epidural. The rest of my kids not scared just anxious to get the epidural as soon as i can :D
It does hurt alot but you dont remember the pain after you have your baby. BTW i had my first at age 13.

I wasn't. I figured it's a pretty natural thing, and if I took care of myself and had medical care...things would be fine.
What I discovered is....that last month you're pregnant, you're really tired of being pregnant. As in...how much longer can this go ON?!!@#!!..kind of tired.
By the time zero hour hits...you're pretty willing to do whatever it takes to just get that kid OUT!
Well, that was me, anyway.
