What's it like to be pregnant? I'm scared to be pregnant.

Why are you afraid to get pregnant? You'd be afraid only if you are not ready and have no husband. Being pregnant is exciting because finally you will be having angel. If you're watching someone giving birth, it seems it's painful, but when you're the once actually giving birth normally, you will not mind the pain. Instead you are focusing on finishing the job so that you will see the bundle of joy that will be coming out from you. It's wonderful to be a mother especially when you are ready to be one. Smile!

I can tell you I was/am nervous. As my pregnancy goes on, im 22 weeks now, I am getting more scared for the delivery. As the babies get bigger its a reality now that they have to come out some way! lol

I was scared to get pregnant too. I was afraid of the pain, as well as the changes my body would go through. Now that I went through it and had my daughter, I'm glad that I did. Sure it hurt, I won't lie. It hurt alot, but, when I finally got to hold my daughter in my arms, I forgot about the pain and felt that it was sooo worth it, and I would go through it again if I ever get the chance again.

Hi.For me every first mom is afraid of being pregnant and I think that's a normal feeling for becoming a first time mommy. You'll have mixed emotions like you're happy because there is a small thing inside your tummy that is really alive and sometimes you'll be feeling if you are going to be a good mommy but what important is you are blessed with a beautiful child that God has given for every woman like you. I have 2 daughters. In my first child I was also afraid of the labor thing but I have surpassed the pain and I just thought of in any moment I will see my everdearest child and I would proud to say that I am really a woman, a mommy! And prayers, prayers will help you along the way so dont be afraid.

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I have to admit that I was scared of the pain that I would experience while I was in labor with her. However, I really think that all of the fear that I had was somewhat unfounded because though there was a degree of pain during my labor, as soon as my daughter was placed into my arms, I completely forgot about all of the pain that I had gone through during labor and delivery.

Being pregnant can be such a wonderful feeling. knowing that you are creating a child, a miracle of life to be born is something beautiful. It can also be a scary feeling. You just can't control what happens when the birth comes. There can't be a birth without having to go through the pain. There are ways to minimize the pain.You shouldn't feel afraid to get pregnant. You are missing out on something wonderful if you are. Consulting a physician or close friend may help you with your struggles.

tess for heavens sakes do not believe in all those old wives tales of horrible pain, now days you can even deliver by c section. I had a saddle block with my first and the actual delivery was almost painfree. Also being pregnant is not painful but a joyful experience as you watch your self expand with a growing little one. I was scared when I was pregnant the first time and I can say it was not anything to be afraid of, I have had real illnesses that were ten times more painful than child birth.I cannot for the life of me see how a movie about delivering a baby can be horrible. I had two and neither one was horrible at all. and thats was fifty years ago.todays modern technology makes it all so much more comfortable and actually enjoyable.

Hi, I was having the same thinking like you. Everytime when I saw about delivery process in TV programme, my heart was beating fast and I am telling myself, I am not going to go through this labour pain.I am scared. but when i got the confirmation news about my pregnancy, I was shocked and excited. I was asking myself whether I was ready to be a mother and I was going to bear with the labour pain,etc... I was glad that during my pregnancy,everything was going well on me, not much in term of morning sickness. But when come to delivery, it was really painful and the contraction was killing me. I can't sleep that whole night when the contraction was started. At first, I was planning for normal delivery,but after waiting for more than 4 hours, I was in the position yet and I was suffering so much on the pain,at last,make the final decision to go for c-section. Of course, I did not feel the pain during the c-section process,but on the next day when I started to wake up and walked,then only the pain is killing me again. Then I was going into motherhood life...everything was changed and I have few months of sleepless night and pretty tiring. But I managed to do it well too....

Hello Tess, that's you're choice, but probably because you haven't experience yet. probably things will change you finally inlove and become involves in the relationship very deeply.but i am so glad that am a guy. it takes a lot of courage and knowledge for a person to handle pregnancy. it's really hard to be a women.

I already have four kids.:) But every time I'm due for delivery I couldn't help feeling nervous as if it is just my first time. It is indeed difficult to get pregnant. From the time of conception until the date you are to give birth , not to mention of course, the tasks after that, too.:) When I had my first born I had a painless one. I almost did not feel the pain when they cut and sew me. But during the labor, Oh, I can feel everything and I even pleaded my baby to get out soon so the pain would be over soon, too. What is painful is the date when you are about to give birth during labor when it could lasts for hours or days even. It is too painful that you don't know where to put yourself just to make it a little bearable. Every contraction feels like millions of needles piercing your whole body. It is a kind of pain beyond compare that the cut and stitches are just nothing anymore... It is the reason why women shout while giving birth.And, it feels like heaven when that little angel finally came out.It is beyond compare as well.:) Because of too much energy I gave while pushing the baby to get out and stopping myself from waling and crying,I got fever and my whole body was trembling, too. But don't worry, it is because of such pain that we love our children so much. :)We can say that we indeed are giving our lives for them.:)

I am a man, and if I married, I hope that my wife can go through this pregnancy, and I will stick with her all the way. I won't abandon her under any situation. I will go through this with her too. If you are married, and you have a love one with you, he might have done the same way too. So, you won't feel alone, and you always have your love one on your side.

I really can't complain too much about labor as mine went really fast and I really couldn't feel my contractions. My daughter was born at 29 weeks so that was really scary. They gave me some pain meds but they didn't kick in before she was there. She was 3 pounds 2 ounces and Yeah her head hurt. But I was feeling better by the next day. Everyone had a different experience and some have no pain and some have lots but if you stress over it it could make it worse. I guess when you want to be a mother you really don't think about the pain much as it is just the way it works. I am not scared of labor I am more scared of having another preemie. The pain will not last forever you heal like anything else. I have a friend who had a kidney infection and she said that was more painful than labor. I have back problems from time to time and I can tell you that is more painful than labor and it can last longer too. If it scares you too much there are other options like adoption. My pregnancy wasn't that bad either. I never threw up and my biggest problem was that I was always hungry. But my friend threw up almost the whole time she was pregnant. Even if you have one harder pregnancy doesn't meant he the next one will be the same. With me I was the problem and that is why I had a preemie and now that I am over thirty that has raised my chances of having another. So we are really happy with the one that we have and feel like a complete family.

Well, as a guy, I don't know much about pregnancy. But, being pregnant means you have the responsibility to take care of your loved one inside your body. he eats what you eats, so control your eating habits. Pain isn't avoidable. you just have to endure it. hehehe

How old are you? if youre below 18 then i will tell you that, it feels horrible.. everyday you feel like your stomach is tearing apart and it feels like a dinosaur is growing inside. Well, if you're above 18 with a stable job and a husband. It is a wonderful journey and everyday feels like another day to live a worthwhile life with purpose and love.

Me too, was really scared of the pain during labor, I was told the pain was horrible, but I always remember my mum told me, though it's extremely painful, the joy of seeing the baby is greater than the pain. Can you imagine though it's so painful, yet there are still so many mothers giving birth? I understood that when I was pregnant. To tell you the truth, it's not only the delivery period is painful, the full period of pregnancy can be quite painful and uncomfortable sometimes. But, the moment I thought about my baby, I could tolerate with all these pains and discomfort. Believe me, if you really love your baby, you might not even think it's pain, but a joy. Also, if you are very scared of the labor process, you can actually take the epidural during labor. I heard that it will make you have no pain at all, but I am not too sure, as I didn't take that. My feeling was, being pregnant was really great, being a mother is even greater! ^_^
