@sophia8937 what I mean is your can gave a larger birthing canal internally even if you're small :) you got this! Just think of your baby the whole time and labor will fly by

from what i can see my bones and frame are pretty small . pre pregnancy im usually about 95 pounds im 4"11 , luckily i do have some hips to me not large but not straight up and down either . i just think im more delicate than a lot of people but not much i can do about it now i just wanna meet my baby. @kimberkatherine

@sophia8937 it was by choice. I wanted to try to go unmedicated. They should let you get it relatively early on..as soon as I asked for it they called in the anesthesiologist. Checking for dilation didn't hurt at all. Don't worry, how big you are on the outside bares no weight on how you'll do during labor. Our bodies are totally different on the inside. A tiny woman could have a large frame on the inside allowing her to easily give birth. I'm curvy and athletic on the outside but I'm still only 5'2" and pre pregnancy I'm usually around 135 pounds. Not tiny framed but not large by any means. Baby came out pretty easily and I only had the tiniest tear that didn't need any stitches or anything.

@kimberkatherine did u go five hours cuz u were trying to tough it out or did they make u wait that long? i dont think my pain tolerance is very high id probably wanna get it as soon as i could assuming theyd be intense , i havent even experienced one bh contraction . i also think im more afraid of them checking me for dilation 😂😭 although the thought of pushing out a baby when im so small is pretty disturbing to me

@sophia8937 yes ma'am. I went almost 5 hours unmedicated and it was extremely painful and tiring. It is doable but I got the epidural and it was the best thing ever. I was comfortable and I could move my legs but I didn't feel the pain of the contractions or when I pushed him out. I had a sore lower back for about 3 or 4 days and now I feel great! All of the negative things I heard about it were so far from the truth, at least in my case. The epidural was awesome!!

@kimberkatherine did u get an epidural

@sophia8937 it is normal to be scared. I went in because I thought my water was leaking (it was) and I hadn't had any strong contractions and I wasn't dilated at all...but honestly labor wasn't as hard as I thought. strong contraction pain is hard to breath through but that moment to they put your baby on your chest...it is so unreal and you're so happy. I would go through it a thousand times over for him.

@kimberkatherine yeah im pretty scared but either way id rather not have this baby tonight because im exhausted ive had a long day :P

@sophia8937 You'll be fine 😊 labor is an amazing experience.

@kimberkatherine oh my gosh its getting too real!

@kayla471 well earlier it felt like she was super low i had pelvic pressure my mom said i was walking stranger than usual, and i keep feeling like i might be leaking but when i check there is little to nothing there

I puked when I was in labor at the hospital. But nausea is normal a couple of days prior to labor.

light period cramping? it could just be nothing and something you ate also.. or you could just be getting into labor..

@maceysmommy @kayla471 @emersonsmommy omg idk whats going on my water hasnt broke (at least not enough for me to know for sure) but i feel awful and feel like i could be in labor i just dont have any definite signs like contractions or water breaking but im just paranoid idk

I puked during labor also, my nurse said that makes you dialate more I went from 7cm to 10cm just by pucking

i did at the start after my water broke and started dilating..

I puked during my labor!
