This post is for all first time pregnant mommies!!
I just went through the whole birth experience 2 weeks ago with my daughter. I just wanted to tell you guys it's not what everyone makes it out to be. Don't listen to their horrible stories about how painful and horrible it is. It's honestly amazing!! Is it hard? YES! That's why it's called labor!!! Does it hurt? Honestly, it's more of a irritating 'get this baby out of me' feeling. It hurts but not like a pain you've felt before it's a interesting pain. But is it worth it? Absolutely!! This is coming from someone who did it 100% all natural even with complications with my baby's heart (her heart beat went from around 157 to 43 almost every contraction). Don't listen to all the horror stories of labor, just remember that you were lucky enough to he picked to have this baby!! Once your baby is in your arms for the first time you'll understand! I just wanted to write this because I didn't listen to people and I realized after that a lot of the pain can be in your head. Distract yourself and it goes by so much easier! And BREATHE! Breathing exercises makes a whole world of difference! Goodluck to all the soon to be mommies 😘
and it is still considered a natural birth even with the epidural if you remain conscious, deliver vaginally, and can assist with delivery.
btw :)
my sons now 5 months but I had back labor and it was not a get this baby out of me annoying feeling it was like someone was taking a hammer to my back :'( I had no stomach pain no vaginal pain but my back felt like it was breaking! I had a natural birth with an epidural but got the epidural at 9cm cause I TRIED to not get the epidural but ended up having a natural birth with an epidural because I couldn't push I was exhausted and my back was killing me :/ I pray with this baby I don't have back labor and feel my contractions this time in my tummy :/
@camryn211, it's not natural birth if you are getting an epidural. you're simply having a vaginal delivery. not a natural delivery since you are receiving pain meds
I'm about to go through it Friday or next week natural birth with an epidural and family keep telling me stories about it and they don't think I can handle the pain but if I get an c section it's going to be the same so hey what the difference. I think I can do it but im too scared
@jlowe000, & @camryn211 I so agree I had three all natural and trust I was scared having my first kid but then after the second the breathing techniques really do help
Did you have your child natural or c section. And did you get an epidural?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
