Its not the actual giving birth that hurts.....its the darn contractions. Those suckers will kill you. The pushing wasnt so bad.
Did u have all natural child-birth? I went all...all the way natural and the whole of labor hurt- especially the pushingbut it was at that point I realized I was in the valley of the shadow of death and the only way out was to p-u-s-h that baby out. I had to give birth...there was no other option.
I had a c-section. So to me, giving birth is feeling a huge pressure being pulled out from my stomache. It's a very weird feeling. I had a very hard recovery. But would I do it again? YOU BETCHA!
I still can remember the birth of our son pretty well, it's only 4 and a half months ago. It was painful but thankfully it was pretty fast. The contractions shouldn't be underestimated, which I did . In the end I had complications so they had to do a cesarian. I had a really quick recovery even after the operation and it was definitely worth it. So now I'm already thinking if we'll ever get a second one.
A little bundle of Joy... yeah, we get to take home the prize !
Then there is the every 3-4 hour feeding in the middle of the night, colic, teething, toddler stage, terrible twos..........teenage years ....college, ect.
oh the joy !!!!!
I have 1 and I love him to death. Wouldn't change it for the world..... but it aint all peaches and cream ! LOL
Too true, but it's worth every minute, isn't it. At least for me it's still so and I've only 4 and a half months through.
Of course its worth every minute ! I wouldn't change it . I do believe it is something you should experience at least once.
It is amazing that you can be in so much pain and live thru it, much less produce life while doing it.
You are at a very beautiful point with a newborn. Those were great days !
Enjoy all these days to the fullest, the teenage years are just around the corner. And they are, IMO, the most challenging !
I enjoy every minute I have with him. I have the opportunity to stay at home for a year and still get a bit of money to get along rather well and it's just fab. We're doing so many great things. We have such strange classes where we get together with other mommies and they learn how to grab and feel different textures, etc. Then we have the mommie club - we're 10 women and we already met while being pregnant, then after the birth for gymnastics with the babies and now once a week just to get together with the kids. And there's the baby swimming course. Very cute and I've a full plan all week .
Man...we're going to start trying for a baby next year and now I'm freaking terrified.
