Did you instantly forget the pain of pregnancy and birth?

LOL...we ended up with a little monster! Sure he is adorable and fun when he is happy. But man oh man is he a boy! He has been climbing on stuff since he was about 8 months...anyway. I still remember how much I hated being pregnant (I was sick up till the day after I had the baby). I remember labor. But I would like to do it again and hopefully have a little girl. I however, don't really want a whole litter. I would love to keep it at two...

I didn't forget the pain, but it was all worth it once I saw both of my babies. I would go through it all again to have these beautiful boys. There is some pain associated with childbirth, but it's outweighed by the joy.

I don't remember any pain during pregnancy - my back hurt some but it's stuffed already so i cant blame the baby for that! I had a C Section so the pain of after-birth lasted longer than i'm sure a natural birth would but it only lasted a couple of weeks before i felt good as new (in most places) & like you, i was happy with 1 but now, we're 9 weeks pregnanct with baby #2 & i think i would like to have 3 in total but we'll see what my other half think of 2 before we think about that! I do think you forget about everything once the baby is there & you have other things to keep you amused & your mind off the pain anyway. My CS pain was only there really, when i was doing other things besides playing with the new baby!!!

You never forget the pain and agony, it just becomes so unimportant once you have that sweet little angel in your arms, you feel like it was totally worth it so why complain about it and you'd do be glad to do it again in a heart beat! At least that is my opinion!

My son is almost 3 years old now. Yes child birth was painful but to get something so presious in the end it makes all that pain worthwhile. And yes all these years later I still remember the pain but just not as clear as I did just after the birth. What I do remember clearly is wanting to slap my now ex mother-in-law who only hours after I gave birth saying so when is the next one due. After a 16 hour labour and my son becoming stuck momentarily and many stitches later that was the last thing I really needed to hear. Lol I sometimes wonder if she asked the same question when my ex husband's new partner gave birth 13 months after I gave birth to my son. But to answer more about your question yes painful as it was when the right man comes along I will be back there in that labour ward all over again.

yikes... I didn't forget the pain that quick. I had a good pregnancy so I didn't mind that part. But I was 2 weeks late and had to be induced... I went through hell and never managed to get the epidural I requested :-( I loved my lil boy as soon as he was placed on him and never had problems bonding with him. But it did take me a while to forget about the horrible pain I went through during labour... for ages I was actually scared of seeing other pregnant women as it kept on reminding of what they were going to have to go through and therefore what I went through. Anyway, it took me about a year to accept it and stop being "silly". I did want another baby so I just motivated myself by telling me that the next time will be different. I'm currently expecting my second baby and as soon as I feel the first contraction I'm running to the hospital for an epidural RIGHT AWAY!!!!

yeah towards the end of being prego I hated it. It was summer time and I was just miserable but as soon as I saw my girl I knew it was worth it. I really do want to have at least one more but money is not right at this time so we have to wait.

Nope. I didn't forget any of it. I love my sweet little son like crazy, and he was worth every moment of it... but I still don't want more. Granted, my situation wasn't exactly normal. I had seizures throughout my pregnancy, several a day towards the end there. I wound up having to go to high-risk pregnancy specialists because my son's heartbeat wasn't quite right, having to go to doctors for my seizures and have tests done and then be told they didn't know what was causing it, and no one could tell me if it was affecting my child or not, and I was terrified I was going to lose him the whole time. I even had a seizure during labor, and after hours of pushing I had to have a C-section because he was stuck. I'm not going through all that again. I have my beautiful amazing son, and he is enough. If I ever decide I absolutely have to have another child, I'll adopt.

By the time the post-partum bleeding had stopped, I had forgotten. Completely and totally. I remember talking about the pain, and being in pain...but couldn't for the life of me remember what, exactly, the pain felt like. I think it's nature's little trick to keep up reproducing. What I DO remember, though, is having my third basically naturally (they gave me an epidural, but it did more harm than good and didn't relieve ANY pain). The "ring of fire" you get when the baby is coming out. Yeah...ouch...that I'll never forget.

It's not that I totally forgot, it just didn't seem as important anymore. The happy parts of pregnancy stand out more than the uncomfortable parts and labor just gets over shadowed by those first cries and the feel of a tiny litttle bundle finally in your arms after all that waiting. Of course this is coming from a mom whose youngest is one year old and has a bunch of people around her getting pregnant, being pregnant or just having brand new babies...and a son asking for a sister for Christmas.

lol I am the sameway. I hated my husband for getting me pregnant when I wasn't ready and all the pain in the butt stuff I had to deal with during the whole nine months and even with a c-section I still want more and I have 2 but I do want to wait til my little ones get alittle older. My oldest is 2 and my youngest is only 6 months. It just feels like I just did everything that I have to do all over again. Like diapers, bottles, getting up at night. It would of been nice to have a break. I tell everyone I was pregnant in the years 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. I think I need a big break lol

I don't remember childbirth, because I was out cold til I woke up in recovery and had a baby! I had a c-section. However, I was not psychotic while I was pregnant, I had good pregnancies with no morning sickness, and felt good the whole time.

The birth of my daughter I will never forget. The pain was incredible and I will never ever forget it. My first birth ended with a urgent operation, and when I had my son I was in prepare operation and did not had to go through it again. I do remember the pain and that is that.

Yes once you hold that newborn baby in your hands the pain of preganacy goes away to be remember no more.

I think that you always remember the pain and agony but if your biological clock says "baby now" those hormones over ride anything that you do remember. Plus once the baby is born you focus on what you have and not as much on the pain. I remember the pain of child birth and didn't think it was bad at all, even at the time.

I had a nightmare pregnancy with "morning sickness" the whole nine months I was pregnant. I felt horrible the whole time I was pregnant. I said several times to my husband that I didn't want to go through that again for a LONG time. My labor pains was pretty bad also. I remember actually saying I NEVER want to do this again even though I have always wanted a big family. The first time I held my son was the moment I knew it was all worth it and I knew I was more than willing to go through it all again for such a precious bundle of joy. Although I haven't forgotten the sickness and pain, I know that in order to recieve the greatest feeling in the world when you hold your baby, you have to go through some of the worst feelings in the world.

I was fortunate to have wonderful pregnancies and loved being pregnant, and I didn't even mind labor since I knew it was a very short-term thing. Well, maybe I minded it at the time (insert husband nodding head here) but yes, I forgot the pain almost immediately and very much looked forward, happily, to the next pregnancy.

No you don't totally forget it but it's all justified when you hold your new baby. I wanted another baby when my son was six months old and started being super independant. I was one of those people who just loved being pregnant though. Lol
