Having a Child : The Pregnancy...

Hi there, I remember my mom sharing me about her experiences during her pregnancy. I was the first child and she never had any morning sickness during those moment, She just love to eat a lot of boil eggs and fresh coconut...I am also excited to be in that stage but I wish it will be as easy as my mom, I had a friend who can't eat most of the food because she will vomit and it took like 5 months before she was able to feel normal.

I have not had a child either but I just finished watching Real live birth on you tube. Some of it was very graphic and the screaming was vulgar. But most of them had the sound off and what not. The look on the faces of these woman while delivering is priceless if you watch her face the moments before (pain) and the moments after (love) it will probably bring tears to your eyes. Some of them are very educational.

I have three kids,each pregnancy was different.I ate just whatever I felt like while I was pregnant.I actually love being pregnant and if I didnt have difficult pregnancies I would probably have had more kids.I suffer from high blood pressure when pregnant so this causes a few problems for me and all of myt kids had to be delivered by c-section prematurely.My last baby was even taken at 7 months and had to stay in the hospital for a month.It is such a joyous feeling to feel your child moving inside of you.There is no greater feeling in the world.I didnt have ant epidurals because with each of my pregnancies I was put to sleep.Recovering from the surgeries is a little hard but when you hold your child in your arms it is definitely worth it.

I have never pregnant before, I can't tell u the experience. But I think the pregnancy depends on the person, some will feww normal, some looks like suffering. May be looks like normal 1 they already have experince, so they can act like normal. Like the what can eat, what can do, these kind of questions, I think have to ask the elderly. You are preparing to get pregnant? If you are pregnant now, I would like to say congratulation to you!

hi.. i had my 4th baby 8 months ago, each one of my labours have been different, as have my pregnancies. i think every woman is different and carries differently, my 1st labour was long, my 2nd labour was shorter but more intense, my 3rd again shorter but the pain more intense, my 4th labour was the longest, during pregnancy there are many different things you can suffer with or not as the case may be, i never really had morning sickness or heartburn like some women do, i did suffer with restless legs though which is not at all painful but just annoying, labour and childbirth is wonderful, and you get this georgeous little bundle to take home with you at the end of it all lol.. as for things you can't eat, im in the uk so not sure if us is the same, but we are told to avoid: soft cheeses, blue cheeses, soft ice cream,mayonnaise, peanuts/peanut butter, un-cooked shellfish,certain types of fisg eg, swordfish, shark, marlin,..we are told only small amounts of tuna. if you do deceide to have a baby...good luck..xx

Well let me first say that everyone is different and every pregnancy is different so you can't go by what other people say. For me...the worst part was the morning sickness which you can have anytime of the day. The labor wasn't as bad as I thought it was. Mostly my back was killing me. These days they have pain meds for you if you choose to use them so you shouldn't be too worried about that. As far as to what you can eat and drink...your OB will give you a packlet and let you know what you can eat and not eat. When I had the epidural It didn't hurt at all! But about an hour before I started pushing it wore off but again everyone is different. I'm kinda glad that it did wore off cause I was able to push really good. It only took me 4 pushes to get my son out. You push like you are having a really big poop. O..and if you poop don't worry the nurses are use to it they just hurry up and clean it up without you even knowing that you had poop. I didn't poop cause I did all of that before. When you first go into labor your body automaticly cleanse your sytem out...you'll have diaherra. Also when you go into labor don't eat anything else..just drink and you won't feel sick or poop later on. But I think you would be fine!! After you see that baby you'll forget about all the pain. Good Luck!! I just wish I started having kids younger. I am 27 and just had my first baby.

childbirth is not all bad. Yes you have discomfort, your body changes, but that is not as noticeable until you get into the 8th, 9th month of pregnancy. You can not eat Sushi, deli meats, too much tuna, certain fishes, just anything that is not cooked all the way. Their are certain shell fish you want to stay away from. Overall there is not much you CAN't eat but certain fish and anything raw you want to stay away from. Yes I had an epidural it was NOT BAD at all, I was more worried about having a contraction during the time I was getting an epidural. Both times I got one it worked right away and it took less than 5 minutes...my doctors were GOOD!!! I would not have done it any other way!

With my son...my oldest...I was so miserable the entire pregnancy. I was sick the ENTIRE pregnancy. I was even puking while I was in labor with him. I also had blood pressure problems with him so it was recommended that I had the epidural. Which was nothing at all. They do put it in your back...but it feels like a tiny little bee sting...once it is in you dont even feel it. The IV's hurt worse. With my daughter it was also recommended that I get the epidural because I wasnt progressing the way I should have and they use the epidural sometimes to just help someone relax...The more you are relaxed the less you fight the contractions and faster you can dialate and progress. WIth my son I also had a 4th degree tear (which means front to back) but my daughter I didnt even have to be snipped. My son weighed 8lbs 5oz and my daughter was 8lbs 11oz and both were 21 1/2 inches long. But like someone said...after the baby is born you completely forget everything about how uncomfortable you were being pregnant.

I had all three of my children naturally. I do not know much about the epidural except most woman get one when in labor. I think it depends on you tolerance for pain. As far as being pregnant I think every pregnancy is different. You need to eat healthy and eat what you can keep down. morning sickness is the worst. some people get morning sickness and some don't. I don't think you get to uncomfortable until the last months. The baby moves around alot in there and it's uncomfortable. I think after giving birth you forget all the pain and enjoy your little bundle.

Just to throw it in here. I don't think that If I were female, I would not want to have a baby!!! I was with my wife when she gave birth to my son. Now, I am six-two,230 pounds, in shape, been in the Corp, in-country, under fire, and a few other things. My wife on the other hand was about five two, and averaging around 110 pounds, when she started giving birth, I got scared, the look on her face, the tone of her voice scared the crap outta me!!!! So, to all the mothers and women out there- Thanks,but no thanks!!!!!!!!!
