I'm so excited to bring baby girl into this world, not so excited about being potentially ripped…

its really not that bad. but also i didnt feel it cause i had the epidural and even tho i was still numb they numbed me dpwn there pretty good

I always told myself I'd get an epidural, but recently changed my mind and I want to go all natural. Hopefully I can stick it though, lol!

@zarietysmommy120215, - It doesn't always happen! Just think of the end result =)

I see you live in Aiea, my bestie lives there. I am originally from Honolulu...but now live in FL. Majority of my ohana still live there. Have you heard of Aloha Gournet Products aka AGP? That's my uncle's business he started out in '94 & is now one of the larger distribution companies there. He used to send care packages to me years ago since I was his first niece to leave the rock...but he got way too big so no mo care packages =(

I sure could go for some island snackage right about now. You so lucky! Bwahahahaha

Welcome to preggie, btw.

@babyhawkins2015 aw, yay! Someone from Oahu on here lol. I know, my friends who have kids said the labor pains were the worst, but quickly went away as soon as their baby was in their arms! No, I haven't heard of that business. 😕You should come back! Thank you!! 😚

@zarietysmommy120215, Chhheeeeehuuuuu! I miss my rock. they are right...labor pains magically stop as soon as baby is out. it's crazy and mind boggling! My uncle had local snacks in all the gas stations and Wal-Mart..shirokiya..tons of other places. He use to own Maunakea Leis and Flowers downtown.. not sure if they closed down...last time I came home was 2010... Miss my ohana and right about now...da food!!! lol

I'm from Oahu too :-D Kapolei to be exact. miss HI dearly. I got epidural I sincerely think you're super woman for not wanting it... Not everyone's Labour is the same, but from my experience I was on the verge of screaming bloody Mary before I got it. The epidural itself hurt a lot... but I was so thankful afterwards. . I didn't tear, the Dr cut me, my son had his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck so she had to cut me and stick her hand in there so she could put her fingers underneath the cord to allow him some oxygen... I got a few stiches... I didn't feel when she stiched me cuz I begged her to numb me... by the time my son came my epidural was fading and I was starting to feel everything. .

I am 2 weeks PP and my stiches have yet to heal... my lady parts hurt a lot! the first week I was home I was in intense pain, My Dr didn't give me any meds... some believe in meds, others like mine don't... so she sent me home without any... I had to find some myself (I don't really like meds either but the pain was unbearable), that with no sleep and taking care of my son and house was hard.. but it's getting easier
