I'm terrified of going into labor. My main question is..... Does an epidural hurt? And Does it hurt when and if the doctor has to cut you instead of letting you rip!? Please put my mind at ease. 😓 first time mom.
i didn't feel when they cut me at all. they said its easier to stitch a cut than a tear. trust me, its scary to think about but once its happening, you caught up in going through the motions of everything that by the time its all said and done you'll look at yourself as more empowered. 💙
epidural doesn't hurt I didn't even feel the needle
I didn't think the epidural hurt. The numbing shots they numbed my back hurt like the first three but after that I didn't feel nothing.
You'll be in so much pain by the time you get the epidural, it won't hurt lol! The most you will feel is pressure and that's it because they numb it first.
My epidural hurt but not as bad as my contractions and the relief was so worth it!!! I didn't have to be cut but I had a very small tear with my first and didn't feel it at the time but hurt so bad after. I don't think doctors often cut anymore because there's stretching and softening methods now.
I wouldn't recommend an epidural I had to get when I was 13 weeks for surgery to ensure my son stayed in place and made it to full term my back was messed up ever since went natural when it came time to deliver him and no if they cut u instead of letting u rip doesn't hurt
Epidural doesn't hurt. When your in labor your more focused on the contractions. I literally just signed the paper and huged my husband it was over before I knew it. Ripping doesnt hurt I ripped but can't help you with getting cut.
I didn't feel the epidural at all you feel 2 little pricks where they give you the numbing meds then after that nothing. The rest I can't help with I had an emergency c-section after 40 hours in labor.
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...
I mean labor in general
