Heya! My names chazwick (a nickname thats
stuck). I'm 14, not pregnent and in no
rush, whats so ever (i haven't even had
sex yet).
Anyway...
Does labour hurt?
Like I said, i'm not preggy, but this
worries me, because growing up with lots
of brothers and sisters, and having babies
around, all the time (i have loads of
experiance! Lol) has made me convinced I
want a big family of my own some day.
But this totally worries me, I reconsider
my thoughts of family, because I hate the
thought of lots of pain.
I'd love your own stories of the "pain".
Thank you x
ps- I understand that the pain is totally
worth it, cause you get a little baby..

Well labour hmm, mine went like this...
4am.. Waters broke. Rush to the
hospital. Midwifes do there checks and
stuff. "yes, your wateres have broken,
but you are not yet in labour".
So im like yeh ok, can I go home? I
hadent got any of my labour stuff ready,
coz I was only 36 weeks gone, still
leaving it a bit late, but babies are
expensive.
So the midwifes wernt happy, but I went
home, and they told me to be back at
7pm.
So, im walking around with a giant
sanitary towel on, feeling like im wetting
my self constintly, and 5pm comes along.
By then im sooooooo knackered you wouldnt
beleive it.
So these pains start, right in my lower
back, and then stretching out, it wasnt
painful, but totally annoying, because I
couldnt sit still, and all I wanted to do
was go to sleep.
So 7pm comes round and im on my way back
to the hospital, with my niggly little
pains in my back.
Get to the hospital, the wire me up to the
moniters. Midwife turns around and says
" ok, well your not in labour, your
contractions are coming like 5 mins then
15 mins then 7 mins etc apart". So im
like ok, I guess i'll get into my nighty
and wait this out. This is at about
11pm.
12pm the miwifes practicaly threw my
boyfriend out the hospital, because it
wasnt visiting hours, and they kept saying
I wasnt in labour, and told him to come
back the next day.
Like litrally 5 mins after my boyfriend
went, I felt like I needed the loo real
bad, so theres me hopping up and down
waddling to the toilets, back and forth
like 6 times.
The pain was getting intense, I remeber
thinking to myself "god I dont think I can
handle these cramps, what am I going to do
when I go into labour?"
so, im sat on the loo, and obviously
pushing, for the purpose I thought I was
there for. And suddently I started
bleeding, I was thinking uh, I really dont
think this is right? Then I had a
huuuuuuuuuuuuge contraction. Theres me
screaming in the loo. I rang the buzzer
and 2 midwives run in. There like what u
doing in here, u spossed to be asleep.
So I tell them im bleeding.
I then get another huuuuuuge contraction,
the midwife checks me, and says well, I
can feel the head.(i was still sitting on
the loo)
so, the other midwife says, "we best get
you to labour and delivery, can you walk?"
im like what? U expect me to walk
with a head sticking outta me? U gotta
be kidding me?
So they get me a bed, rush me up to labour
and delivery, by then the labour was out
of my control. Every contraction pushed
the baby, the midwife turns around and
says, well the heads out, now dont push.
Ha, I didnt, the contraction pushed my
beautiful baby girl right out into this
world.
Born at 1.24am. 02/02/05 weighing 5lbs
12oz
i didnt find it very painful at all, I
didnt use any pain relief, well I did,
for the stitch they had to do, gas and air
for stitches nothing for labour.
Giving birth was the most relieving thing
in the whole world, I felt so good, the
happiest I have been in my whole life.
Im glad I didnt have a bad experiance with
it, and im really looking forward to my
next birth in about 4.5 months time.

I have given birth twice and my next baby
is due in a few days........ To say labor
hurts is an understatement........ It is
incredably unbearable........ You feel as
though you want to rip your lower half
away from the rest of your body..........
But surprisingly at the same time it is
the most awsome experiance you will ever
have as a woman.........
Impowering....... It is something that
makes you think after " I am strong, I am
capable, I can do any thing" simply
because when you think you have given all
you have got and you just cant take it any
more some how you find more strength and
you bring a tiny little person into the
world......
