Is anyone else terrified about labor I can't even read about it without getting anxiety !! Even the…

if u have a low threshold for pain then an epidural should make you happy lol

it's just like getting a shot just a little pinch compared to the labor you are going to feel

I couldn't even get epidural, it wasn't going in . had to use iv meds which did not work either

@mumof2, Oh yay ! Lol but my mom told me you can't get one to soon or to late ! Maybe if I'm lucky I will have one of those labors that I'm in all day and have no idea like my mom and hair stylist described I rather that lol and needles don't bother me the catheter to pee and the catheter in my back from the epidural sounds uncomfortable .. But needles don't bother me I have lots of tattoo it's just the thought of stuff in my spine 🙈😁

@fnsxo.01, oh my god I would be so mad

trust me you don't even feel it... I had my first with epidural my second I had natural because it was too late to get one

I had two spirals, which go into your spine further than the epidurals. I am petrified of needles and watched way too many birthing shows. It honestly feels like a pinch and once you're in pain that pinch does not even matter. You'll do just fine! Just think of the pinch you feel will make you so much better feeling.

I was! it was a painful 42 hours in labor with no meds to help the contractions. @chelsearomano

@fnsxo.01, omg how did you do it

@beautifuldisaster3, as long as I can get one I'm deff taking it !

@mumof2, kudos to you I pray I don't have to do it without one unless by the grace of god I feel I can manage without one ! I wanted to go natural but I'm also afraid of the pain

don't be if you had a period with bad cramps then you have an idea of what to expect

I didn't do it naturally, about 15 hours after they broke my water I had to go in for a c section because my boy was being stubborn and wouldn't come down

@chelsearomano,

@mumof2, I used to get excruciating cramps !! They suck and very heavy periods ! Most of the time the first two nights of my period I couldn't sleep ! @fnsxo.01 ahhhh that sounds like nothing fun at all ! How was it c section wise and recovery

for me it was a pain in my butt.. but I was still up and walking that same day.. it split open on the ends a few times and bled but it eventually closed up. took me about 6-7 weeks to fully heal. @chelsearomano

@fnsxo.01, aww 😢 that's a bit of a recovery

I know it sucked.. for me it was really hard to get out of bed 😧 @chelsearomano

@fnsxo.01, im sorry but you got through it and your that much stronger :)
