Well, time is drawing nearer every passing
day. I cannot help but feel nervous and
anxious. This is our first baby!! I
had a miscarriage a few years ago and I am
terrified that the pain is going to be the
same.
Does anyone know?
I suppose it is different for every woman
and I just need to wait and see for
myself. I walk into my bedroom and see
the baby crib all set up and look at his
or her clothes and I get all teary eyed, I
cannot believe I am going to be a mommy.
I have to admit that I am relieved that it
is so close because this little baby
inside of me has given me quite a ride.
I have never seen my body get so
disfigured as it does when my little one
moves around. Stretching its legs and
arms. I love it but sometimes it just
hurts.
I wish all the upcoming mothers, new
mothers and second and third time moms the
best. I just thought I would stop by and
write a little note.
Take care and god bless
justy

Awww! Congrats hon! Good luck with
your first baby! Do you know whether the
baby is a boy or girl yet?
To answer your question...Every woman's
labor is different from the next. All us
woman can do is give you our experiences!
My first labor I had an epi so didnt have
any pain. Took me a half hr to push her
out. Weirdly enough, I also had an outta
body experience with her! Ive never had
it since, either. With my second
daughter the nurse said I wasnt in labor
so I ended up delivering her natural.
She was my largest at just shy of 8 lbs.
It wasnt too bad, though. I did tear
while having her and got 2 sutures without
being numbed! (i was po'd at my doc for
this) with my son I also had an epi. I
had no pain with him and I had him in one
contraction. He was also my smallest at
about 6 1/2 lbs. After I had him, I had
no pain and didnt even feel like I had a
baby. One thing I will suggest is using
something as a visual point. With my
first, I had a mirror so I could watch
myself deliver. With my other 2 I just
focased on something in the room or my own
thoughts. I hope this helps alittle :)
once again, good luck! Jeannine
