Girls Only Plez!!!?

Question

I'm a teenager, and I was thinking about my future and now that I have no mother to talk to, it's hard to talk to someone. I've seen pregnet people give birth in films, and I was wondering If it really hurts like that, then my other question is...is it worth it???

Answer 1

Pregnancy does hurt and can be very dangerous for a woman. When you are ready to have a baby it is definately worth it all! As a teenager I would suggest waiting!!! You have so much "life" to live and will definately regret the loss of it if you start this aspect of your life too soon (trust me my sister-in-law does)! If you ever need someone to talk to let me know...email me anytime! :o)

Answer 2

Being pregnant and giving birth are ultimately worth it. I remember being a teen and my mother telling me it hurt terrible, but you don't remember the pain because it is so beautiful...I remember thinking "BS Ma!"
Every person and pregnancy are completely different. I have two kids and I am 9 months pregnant. My first was a great pregnancy, never sick, looked great...delivered in 12 minutes after a couple days of on and off contractions. My second I was sick, looked gross, got fat...delivered a baby in 20 minutes after a couple days of contractions. Both deliveries were conducted with an epidural anesthesia...which means they put an IV in my back that numbed me from the waist down...I felt nothing but pressure like I needed to have a bowel movement. The contractions were like concentrated period cramps. Complications can and do arise, making it necessary for different procedures and outcomes.
C-Sections are major surgery that require six weeks of rest and recovery. Sometimes there are unplanned results such as ripping and tearing...sometimes cutting (an episiotomy) and
stitches.
My experience was all positive, and so worth it. However, as I stated, everyone is different. Modern medicine has ways of handling it all and these methods are discussed as options with you when you decide to have a family. Hopefully, it is not while you are a teenager, because that can bring on a whole new set of responsibility and possible pain.

Answer 3

Yes, it is painful the way it looks on tv. My labor with my son was the most excruciating 30 hours of my life. As a teenager, if you're considering getting pregnant then dont. Having a child is hard and not just the pregnancy but everything. I'm only 22 and I had my son when I was 19. I was graduated from high school and had a great job and my husband was in the air force and it was still hard. You give up alot for them. As far as if it's worth it, no one can really answer that for you. They can give you answers on personal experience but you wont know till it happens and if you have a child and feel that it wasn't worth it then it's to late. On a personal basis though let me just say that I would never trade my son or daughter (whose still on the way) for anything.

Answer 4

Hey there... I lost my mom this summer and I'm 30 and it is hard even at this age not to have her to talk to... as for child birth it varies dramatically. Each woman will experience it differently. I was surprised at how little pain I had compared to what I was expecting... Having a child is well worth the pain... Sometimes I think back and realize I hardly rememebr the pain, but I do remember the joy of holding my daughter for the first time... There is something in that moment that makes it all worth it...

Answer 5

(Firstly, please wait to have your first child! You have all the time in the world to become a mother!) Yes, it's worth it. There's a reason it is called "labor"....it is the longest, toughest handful of hours you will fight with your own body, but it is also a wonderful and amazing experience. I remember being so tired I actually asked the doctor if I could just "save" my place (like in a console game!) and come back the next day, and when he said no, I said, "Fine.....how about I go home and you tell me when the baby is born?!" He said, "it doesn't work like that!" So I had to stay :-) I'm glad I did, though.......when I first saw that little, red, wrinkled, squalling teeny monkey with the big wizened eyes, I was shocked at how beautiful and amazing I thought she was, when two years before I would have thought, "God she's weird looking!" It's amazing how you can feel so strongly towards your child just by seeing them for the first time.

Answer 6

It hurts, but it is a different kind of pain...a happy pain! When I was delivering (I have 2 kids by the way), you don't think about the pain, you are too focused on pushing and breathing. Then after your child is brought into this world, you kind of forget everything around you but you and your child. Yes, it is completely worth it, and if I could, I would have 10 more!

Answer 7

Yes, it's absolutely worth it. You forget as soon as that beautiful baby is in your arms. However long it took, and however much pain you were in doesn't matter anymore.

And yes, it hurts! But you have a break to breathe between contractions.

My husband got this advice from a coworker before we went to the hospital to deliver our son, "Don't wear any rings incase she squeezes your hands, because your rings will probably break the skin"....it was true!

Answer 8

It's only worth it for the right man. Sometimes it hurts like that and more depending on how big the baby is. My son was 8.7 lbs and my daughter was much smaller at 7 lb. I have to say he was more difficult to deliver. Boys usually are bigger. But I was 9.1 lb.
We have 2 great kids, and I love them to piecies. Motherhood is great. Having them is the easy part. The more difficult yet rewarding part is raising them. Takes lots of time and energy, changing diapers,feeding them right, getting them to school, clothing them, saving for college, making sure you are giving them enough love to sustain them through the hard times when money is short, healing their wounds ( phsically and mentally), teaching them all you know so they don't make the same mistakes in life,
It's very gratifying to me, but that is me.

Answer 9

It does hurt like that. Yes, it is worth it, but you must be ready to put your own wants aside for the good of another person. You can email if you need a woman to talk to.

Answer 10

Yes it hurts but it won't hurt forever. Now they have safe effective ways to take care of the pain. I have seen women push babies out laughing. And yes it is worth it.
