Labour?

[Paws1995]

I'm freaking out, this is my first baby and I'm scared as hell to give birth. Hell I even dream about the horror, it makes it worse because both my sisters have babies and they both had bad experiences. Is it really as bad as people make it out to be?

I'm a first time mom as well and my doctor couldn't believe I didn't go crazy and stayed calm but I personally think the earlier you get the epidural the better that way you can relax and rest before the big part comes and right before you push ask them to turn your epidural off if you want to feel it when you push, my doctor doesn't let you push with you're epidural so he actually turns it off and let's you g feel the contractions again. I got mine at 8cm and only rested half an hour because in that half hour I dilated to 10 cm and honestly I was extremely exhausted when pushing time came that's the only thing I wish I had fine sooner is get my epidural sooner instead of the iv meds because that made it worse for me

I loved it lol call me crazy but it was an amazing experience for me even the pain I loved every second of my labor maybe not pushing to much but still loved it...

Let your body.do its.own thing i walked, did squats and had sex up until I was "induced" I went from a fingertip to 2cm dilated in 3.days without me taking anything to induce my labor.and when.I was admitted.to the hospital they put cervidil and.in 12 hours of contractions I went.from 2.to 4cm and an hour later I was at 5cm they started.pitocin but.before.the pitocin did anything I was ready to push I did get an epidural at 8cm but my labor was amazing all I needed.was a.boost and.it.happened.with  cervidil my body did.it naturally only 6 hours of labor with 2 of pushing,

No! With my first I watched the giving birth channels& I expected to b u n pain that would kill me, everyone was screaming, and scaring me to death. I went in labor and the nurse couldn't blieve it was my first time. I was on the phone. Talking. I'm not going to say the contractions tickle. I'm saying everyone pain tolerance is different n it's not that bad. I'd rather give birth than b prego for 9months. You'll b fine. Breathe, relax, and enjoy the experience
