wow everyone is making this birth thing sound sooooo horrible....sure it is not fun at all, it hurts and just outright sucks to be there unable to move from the pain, knowing that u are gonna push a bowling ball sized thing out of your neither regions, but come on ladies, give the girl some nice labor stories!!!!!!!!i was due with my son on april 17 07, on the morning of april 15 i started feeling something "funny" i had been to the dr the week before and i was 3cm dialated, and 100% effaced, but no contractions so they let it go. ALL day on the 15th i kept feeling wierd things, so i go to the bathroom & oops there is my mucas plug!!! at around 4 pm, i started getting light frequent contractions. about 10-20 min apart. i called the dr they told me to hang out at home till they were 1-3 min apart and lasted at least 30 sec. so i waithed it out and by 7pm ther were coming more frequently so i took a hot shower, and by the time i got out & dressed i was ready to go to the hospital. when i was admitted i was 5cm & they could feel his head!!! that was at 10pm. i got hooked up to drugs when i was 8cm, (i would have been miserable if i went natural!! at that point they HURT SOOO BAD!!! and i was stuck at 8 cm with heavy contractions for like 4 hours, i did not feel them, but i could see them on the monitor) i actually slept the whole night until about 5, thats when they told me that i was ready to start pushing!! he was born at 6:54am on april 16th...one day before his due date!!! & i did not even rip AT ALL!!! not even a little tear! see it can be done! use alot of that lube stuff, and have your dr kind of massage your skin as it is streaching and u should be ok!!good luck to you!!! im sure you will have a beautiful labor & birth!!
Your Rating: thanks for the encouragment ! i hope i'll pull it thru ..i'll try not to think bout it .. let's salute to mummies and mummies-to-be! :)

I had an unexpected c-section and was horrified... so scared. Sure enough I went in at 4 and was in my room recovering at 4:45. The recovery wasn't that bad either... I wouldn't do it again anytime soon, but not as bad as I thought it would be! Lol. Without the help of my husband and in-laws I definitely wouldn't have been able to have such smoothe sailing. Good luck... hope all goes well! It will go by quickly!

i was induced due to preclampsia i was very scared more scared of needles they had the hardest time sticking the ivs in mean 3 times on each are (third time a charm) but that was the worst contractions also came very strong and hurt i couldnt wait for the epudurial it helped me sleep but after all that work i had my baby boy and it was all worth it maybe one more baby i dunno though just no more needles(yeah right)lol

Rather than add to your anxiety, I will tell you that eventually you heal and feel like yourself again.

to be honest... I didn't think it was all bad... the pain sucked, yeah but it goes by so fast!! I would rather go into labor 10 more times than be pregnant again any time soon!

I think that we have a culture where we are encouraged to be afraid of birth. That doesn't mean that birth is "easy" or "painless ...." It's hard work - the hardest you'll ever do.On the other hand, it's work that your body is designed to do. You CAN do this.I'd recommend Ina May's Guide to Childbirth as a very uplifting read, to calm your fears.

COME ON MAMA YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!Just relax. Take some time and look into the eyes of the ones you have brought into this world. Remember the beauty they posses and the joy they have brought to you. Focus on having that yet again in your life. Focus on the feeling you got when you heard that first little mewling and cry from the little one. Remember the joy of bringing the little critter home. Do you remember how much fun it was showing the little one off?Take some time out and wrap yourself up in the good parts of what you are about to go through and along the way remember who you are and what you are already capable of doing. Piece of cake right?

I went in with every intention of having natural child birth. I was doing fine, with my sister coaching me... for a total of 10 hours-- she spoke to me calmly and reminded me what was happening to my body-- told me to 'cut through' the pain rather than try to get away from it. That was working so well, then my contractions slowed down to 10, then 20, then 30 minutes apart- so when the nurse checked, she said I was 5-6 cm dialated, but she thought she was feeling the baby's rear, not the head. Sure enough- SURPRISE! The baby was Frank breech and her butt was getting stuck in my cervix. SO I had an emergency C-section. I was so scared, but in the end, I got a healthy baby girl and the healing was not as bad as I thought it would be... with the help of my husband of coarse. So much for my drug-free delivery but WHO CARES!!! If you can, hire a doula to help you with the labor. It really helps to have a trained coach there to talk you through the pain. My sis isn't a doula but she should be :)~

Frankly, if you are scared of labor, perhaps you need to change doctors or hospitals!I didn't like the experience I had with a regular OB so I switched to the midwives and a more baby friendly hospital, and had a MUCH EASIER labor and recovery. If you’re scared, I’d look at the quality of care you’re receiving. You might even look into a doula. They’re a professional that helps you have a better labor—and labor in the way you want. I didn’t use one, but I had a lot of friends who used them. They loved their experiences with doulas and had much better labors, not as scary, not as painful. Source(s):

i was a first time mommy so i had no idea what to expect. i knew it was painful but i didnt KNOW just how painful it was. i had made plans with my doctor for a drug free delivery. and i was crazy lol. my labor was fairly short, only 8 hours and when it was time to push it only took 8 minutes. but i had also said that i would only go 8 hours with no pain relief so i was at the 7 hour mark and it wasnt much progress so i opted for an epidural and cried through the whole thing thinking i was such a failure. it relaxed the contractions to where i could nap but only for an hour then it was time to push. funny thing was i waited so long to get one that it really didnt work and i still felt everything! lol luckily it was only 8 minutes but it felt like an hour! but after i saw her the pain magically dissapeared and i was in love and didnt care about all the pain! if i ever have another child i'm thinking of doing the exact same thing. it seems to me that me going without the drugs helped it go by faster. my poor sister had intravenous drugs and then an epidural and then another bag of meds in her epidural and her labor was 20 hours long! best of luck and congrats on your 3 angels!(p/s:i wanna thank you guys out dere for giving soooo much encouragment to me ! love ya guys! )

yesterdae was a pretty tiring dae for me .. after sending e kids to sch i thot of returning hme n have a nap who noes mi monster in law (hahaha..okieokie kidding mother in law) called me up and ask me to go bugis wif her and oso 2 bring Rysher to c a chinese physician .(okay i realli give up! i did mention to em b4 but they did nt believe till now and blame on her who keep giving sweets n 'cooling' stuff to dat lil' fella)
while waiting for transfering of train at City Hall to bugis a pregnant lady gave dat gluttony guy 3 packs of tidbits .. we chatted for a while . she is oso due in oct , but her tummy was huge , she had diabetes and had to depend on injections . her legs were swollen poor lady .. if i were in her situation i wont even consider of havin another child its sooooo tiring ! (anyway though dis is mi 3rd baby fourth pregnancy im still having phobia bout giving birth, imagine u gotta go thru the painful process and the wound hurts after that and u gotta breastfeed the baby it oso hurts as well and so on...guys u really shld be proud of yr wives who braved thru the dangers of bringing yr descendants to the world im sure u guys couldnt have done that even if u really have the ability to do so! really salute to those mummies to be out there who makes sacrifices for their babies..)maybe her 1st child is a ger hence she wanted to gave another try of havin a boy .. but dis x it was a gal again ..gal or boy it doesnt realli matters to me . blame it on the men den !its their sperms dat determine the sex of the babies !!
anyway talking bout manners in the train station , i really need to rant!!
im nt saying all but there are really some inconsiderate SINGAPOREANS who purposely bump into we pregnant ladies knowingly or obviously they can c that we r pregnant just because they r in a rush for time !Hey ! Watch where you're moving ! Singaporeans ! Where have all your manners gone to ??You guys just knock against us as if its nobody business! are u guys really blind or are u guys rushing to be reincarnated during the lunar 7th month??Do be considerate to the mummies to be ! Im sure if your closed ones are being treated like dis u be behaving the same way as me !
So spare some thoughts for those mummies to be , it doesnt take up much time to be considerate to them! Search your conscience inconsiderate commuters!

it seems to me dat i've been buyin stuffz online recently ..and wasted quite a lot of $$ ! *heart pain*
dis few days ive been goin to quite a no of website lookin at their accessories .. i realised dat most of the charms used r quite similar.. **lighbulb** hmm.. maybe one of these days i'll go n get miself the charms and make mi very own accessories instead of spending $ buyin em online .. kekeke...
but seriously i still will get the accessories online if i happen to find one dat i like ... those accessories dat they r sellin are realli one of a kind..okie okie enough bout dat .
dis afternoon while i was browsing the net , i stumble across Sinkuan's blog.. she design and paint e designs onto the canva shoes .. which is realli nice and kawaii though .. if u have designs in your mind do tell her wat u have in yr mind and she design it ut 4 ya . im considering of getting a pair from her as well ..

every family has its own problems... sigh ..i juz lend mi ear to mi close fren thru smses ..luckily everything is fine now .. family members .. aren't they the ones who r the most supportive members , give u advice , a shelter for u ? but it seems to me dis isn't the case anymore .. some siblings can even sue each other due 2 money problems..
wat shall the future holds for me ? will i have a happy family , family who helps one another ? quarreling is a very tiring thing and it is oso hurtful as well ... u say wat u dun realli mean in yr heart and it strains yr relationship with yr family members as well.. dis r some minor problems we might face everyday , but there r some families out dere who have more severe problems ..
so cherish n love ur family sometimes words need nt spell out , a hug or kiss does the job 4 ya !
