Ok, i need some experiences. honest.?

Question

So ive always wanted to know from an outsider, whats it like to be pregnant? what does it feel like, whats the worst part, and does labor really hurt THAT much. I just feel the need to know from someone who wont have a reason to lie to me and just give me the positive view.

Answer 1

Well I am not having a "Normal" pregnancy. I am 37 weeks and have vomited almost every single day since 6 weeks.(several times per day) At one point I was getting IV hydration several times per week. It has been a living nightmare in all honesty. I want my baby and would do it over ten times if I had to...but I am just glad I dont....That being said most people dont get that sick the whole time. I know people that loved being pregnant and others that hated it. I would have to say it all depends on the person. Even though I have felt like death the entire time it still makes me feel really good and excited when I feel him moving around inside me! So whatever your experience is I am sure it will be worth it!

Answer 2

Everyone is different in so many ways.

I absolutely loved being pregnant with my daughter even though I had a h**l of a lot of aches and pain and sciatica, which I've also got in this pregnancy, and I'm loving this pregnancy too but I'm real anxious and paranoid because I've had 2 miscarriages since my daughter.

The worst part of pregnancy is probably when you feel so uncomfortable and it doesn't matter what you do, it won't go away lol.

Labour hurts like h**l and makes you think you're going to die but in the end, like I've always said, if it was THAT bad, no one would go back and do it again and again would they. People say oh yeah but you forget about the pain, but once again, if it was THAT bad, I doubt very much you'd be forgetting.

I had a natural birth with no pain relief at all, but most women chose to have epidurals etc so alot of your pain is getting dulled or removed anyway. Apart from that, if you prepare yourself to be as relaxed as possible when you go into labour, you'll be surprised at how much that will help you.

I think it feels amazing to be pregnant, knowing you've got this little thing inside you that's going to grow into this baby, and it's unbelievable at how many bits and pieces we have in our body, and how all those little parts develop etc in the womb. It's an amazing process in many ways

Hey there, I loved every minute of my pregnancy, key points I remember in the pregnancy (good and bad ones) are the obvious ones like sometimes people get morning sickness and sometimes you dont, but even if you do you kind of get used to it and its not as bad as you think and you dont always throw up everyday, but its also not always in the mornings either. And when you first feel the baby, it's the most amazing sensation, it was like a little butterfly was slowly flapping about in the lower part of my stomach, then eventually develped to full kicking, but it doesnt hurt, sometimes if you are trying to sleep it can be uncomfortable when the baby gets bigger and he/she is kicking or moving around, but other than that I thought it was gorgeous, my daughter also sometimes got the hiccups which just felt like....hiccups in my stomach lol, and sometimes she got her foot caught under one of my ribs lol, again its not sore, just if it stays there for a while its uncomfortable at times, the worst part of being pregnant is just at the end, if you go over your due date, your very large, and you get the feeling that its impossible for you to get bigger, you think you might just pop, and when the baby engages (goes down into your cervix to get ready for birth) if he/she moves their head around you can get some annoying stabbing pains right down there in your cevix, but that doesnt last long.

The labor... I wont lie to you, it does hurt, of course it hurts, but there are options like an epidural, once this is given you will not feel anything, its like being paralyzed from just above your waist down to your knees. I have gone through both having the epidural and not having it, and when I didn't have the epidural it wasnt really as painful as I thought it would be (I actually prefered not having the epidural) obviously it was the most pain I had ever gone through in my life lol, but it felt like period pain... but a lot worse, and once you are far enough into the labor for it to be really really painful your mind kind of goes into mother mode already. Like you think ok I am a mother now and this is my first job as a mum and I just have to do it. Your mind fully takes over and you just get the job of giving birth to your child done, the actual part of pushing out the baby doesn't really hurt all that much, its the contractions that hurt more. If you just push when they tell you and hold when they tell you then you probably wont tear much or even not at all (if you do tear you wont even feel that at all by the way). They know what they are doing, trust them. Then once your done your whole body just tingles and you feel like your floating and you get handed your child and its like you and him/her are the only 2 people on the planet. It's really amazing. So even though it can have a few painful points during pregnancy and labor the end result is why people do it again and again. Its all worth it. For the rest of your life you are a mum :)

Answer 4

Um okay. I'm still pregnant with my first so I can't tell you about labour yet but I'm not scared if that helps. Pregnancy is such a hard one to sum up and so different for each person. Alot of the side effects are plain and simple just horrible. Nobody enjoys morning sickness or heartburn or gas or constipation or haemmorrhoids or going to the toilet ten thousand times a day. That said you can easily overlook them when you think of the bigger picture. I certainly wouldn't want to be pregnant all the time I have always been much more interested in having the baby rather than the pregnancy itself, but I wouldn't take it back for the world. In many ways it can be a big inconvenience as it prevents you from doing many of the things you enjoyed previously (like horse riding!!!) but it also has some pretty cool bonuses like longer thicker hair, getting out of the chores once in a while hehehe and it is a great excuse for almost anything. I'm very happy that I'm pregnant and I wouldn't want it to end any sooner then it's supposed to but I don't think I'll miss it all that much. And I'd do it again for sure! Hope that helps
