Birthing video

[Toni100388]

Im 18w2d and I just watched a damn birthing video which I think I should not have done. I feel traumatized and scared as hell to give birth now.

Don't be scared!! I have a one year old daughter and im due again in December. If it was that awful we would all only have one baby . I won't lie. It hurts a lot. But its so worth it and you forget it so quick..the reward is amazing xx

I was the exact same way when I watch someone give birth. I'm a ftm and I'm so worried and concerned. I'm more scared of getting an epidural or me ripping as baby is coming out :/

When in labor the Dr asked me if I wanted a mirror or to touch my daughters head my response (while pushing even) hell no! :-)  just think women have done this forever you can too

I saw a couple lol c- section,water birth and a natural birth. it scared me while watching it but then got over it lol pretty gross. not looking forward to that part.

I feel a bit more at ease after watching birthing videos. I think to myself, if they can do it then I can do it. Its only a short time compared to the lifetime you get to spend with your child. You can do it!

Thanks ladies! And @mommyd12 I do want to look into birthing classes so thanks for the reminder. yea I do wanna be the one living it (not seeing it from that end) so no more videos for me.

I feel the same way, except my mistake was watching a video on how circumcision was done. :(   definitely can't be in the room for that now.

Don't be scared! It's a natural thing...your body is made for it! They say you should not worry or fear it for it prolongs the labor! Best think to do is take birthing classes which will mentally prepare you for the birth!

I'm not saying the birth classes will make it hurt or seem less scary but if your mind is prepared and accept that labor is pain and hard your body and mid will cope with it better to it and it will go smoother!

If you still have anxiety about it talk these fears over with your doctor...they will be able to help you through the process a little easier!

Yeah I was not one for that either. I'm going to live it,I don't want to see it from the opposite end! Birth may be called beautiful, but by beautiful it really means messy, gross looking, and a bit smelly even lol. I'm good in my blissfully unaware spot of what it looks like down there!
