Labor wasn't scary at all for me. It got
painful at the very end and I agreed to
pain medication, but after that it was
fine. Just try to remain calm and listen
to the nurse's directions. If she tells
you to breathe a certain way, do it - if
she tells you not to push, then don't,
etc. They help women every day give
birth, so their advice is golden.
I can honestly say that once it's over,
you will barely remember the labor.

Short Form of My Labor... Posted: 01-23-07 04:44am
I think I was pretty lucky! Except for
the contractions (not to scare you more)
but they are a big pain in the butt! They
are like baaaaaaaaaaad cramps (well mine
were anyways) they were coming on so fast
by the time my mom came to take me to the
hospital (they started at 4am) and got
worse and worse but the time 8 am came. I
didn't get my epidural until like 11 or so
because they had to give me antibiotics
for group b strep (is that what its called
I forget) and before the epidural I got
demerol, which just made me really
groggy.... But I got two shots of
epidural because the first started wearing
off.... But even when the baby was
crowned (i got a third degree tear I think
or 2nd degree) she told me not to push (
to help the skin stretch as the baby came
out) so I didn't which while her head sat
down there it hurt but I consentrated
pretty good. (i didnt scream or anything
and the only time I said ow was when the
doctor was stitching me back up again!)
and that was that and like the last person
said... You don't even hardly remember
the pains after the baby is born. It is a
little hard to walk afterwards but that's
about it!
Sorry for babbling and hope this helps a
little bit at least and good luck
(also, I didnt even want to leave the
hospital, I wanted to stay the people
there were so nice and helpful!! I cried
for a week when I went home because I
missed the nurses and the help and stuff)

Im 17 with a 8 month old.My labor was
alright.I was actaully laughing though it
actually.Before giving birth I was
actually on my lap top and listeing to my
ipod.Haha.It was good.
Any who,my labor was 12 hours long.I could
hardly feel the contractions due to the
epidural that they gave me.I was actually
falling asleep through contractions.The
only thing I suffered was a hemorrhoid and
a 4 degree laceration.They cut
me.Ouchhh.And that was a health forum.But
now im fine.My son came out 7 pounds 7 oz
&& 20 inches. Born may 6.06
