So Excited for labor!!! So this is baby #2 for me. With my son I delivered naturally with no epi or Iv meds.

Wow that's neat to hear u say u can't wait, this is my first and my sister had her daughter natural said it was the worse pain ever and I'm very scared :/

This is my second pregnancy, and with my first child I was confident and ready to conquer my labor and delivery... I was in labor for nearly 3 days!! I'm hoping that this time around won't be as lengthy...

Me too. I'm glad I'm not the only one :) it's my first and I look forward to the moment my baby is in arms.

@Jules I'll make you a deal! You take my hip pain (my hip is popped out of place every morning when I wake up) and I'll deliver for you lol :D

Would you like to have mine on my behalf? I'm dreading the actual pain! Good for you tho! I'd love to be in the position where I looked forward to every part of it x

When I had my first child my active labor was 3 hours I'm afraid this one will just "fall" out in a matter of min. My dr said I was made to have babies!

@blakie thanks! ?

Congratulations and I love your blue lippy x

Labor is the blooming of a new life! I remember just closing my eyes and picturing walking through a meadow with my husband and soon coming son.

It was a lot of work, but when I had him in my arms for the first time, it was the most magical feeling in the world.

I can't wait to feel that again.

I'm excited and this is baby #3 for me. Im looking forward to labor again :)

I had to have a c-section the first time around so I kinda wanted to experience labor this time! Everyone thinks I'm nuts!

@lorena if you ever have any questions or anything feel free to message me!

I'm 35 weeks today and I'm just so excited! Labor is such a great experience if you make it that way.

Omg this was so reassuring! I'm 23weeks with my first and I was literally freaking out about labor earlier today I'm quite scared lol

I have never heard anyone say they loved labour! Seems so strange!

I loved the initial excitement of realizing I was in labour, calling my husband and such. The rest of it I hated as I am a wussy for pain.

I'm a FTM and I can't wait for labor! I have been telling people that I'm hoping I'm in labor for a long time cuz I want to enjoy the expierience. Is that weird? But I'm not going natural I want to get a epidural.

It's so not just you. This is my first and I'm so excited! Yes, labor is hard but it's so exciting and rewarding.

@Karla don't worry! I was pretty nervous with my first as well. But I can say that I didn't have the epidural or any IV medication and I had a easy delivery.

I had watched a lot of birthing movies and they had freaked me out, but it wasn't at all like I imagined. I didn't scream or cry or cuss. It painful I won't lie to you, but it was a different kind of pain.

Wish I was as confident as you about being in labour this is my first pregnancy I'm actually feeling nervous about it after watching one born every minute it looks so painful but I guess it's all worth it in the end when you've got your baby in your arms that's defiantly something to look forward too ?

I'm glad you ladies feel better after reading this!

It was an amazing experience! TV made me nervous too. I was expecting to throw a screaming pain fit, and nothing of the sort ever happened.

It was an indescribable calm intense situation.

I'll tell you one thing, once the head comes out ALL pressure/pain is gone.

I want to do a natural birth but am scared out of my mind with all the gory labor stories and details. But like this post it's important for women to hear positive labor experience stories, so thanks. Society has made us so scared of the labor process that it seems it can only be fear and pain and not happy and special.

Im with you op. I love being in labor. I actually am on my third. One Angel and one living. I had both naturally though.

I'm with you, Abby, I'm only 6 and a half weeks and I am so scared! This was nice to read though. :)

This is my first pregnancy(28weeks) and I'm so scared, lol I guess it is only you (which isn't a bad thing)
