Why do you still want another kid after the labor pain?

Its because we soon forget the pain. Every time i had a baby i swore it would be the last. I cursed the father during labor and especially the birth. But all was soon forgotten and more children were born. I have 3 live children. Actually the less painful one was the 3rd. My daughter had her first she said it would be her 1 and only. When she had her second she said it would be her last. Then she had a 3rd. She said it would be her last. The 3rd one is now 4 yrs. and she has said she would like another one lately.

HI mermaidivy, I also had the excruciating pain in my first labor. My eldest girl gave me 22 hours of intense contraction before born in natural way. Yet I still want another kid. And my youngest girl, doctor told me I should have c-section because he didn't want to risking my life because of my health condition, if it wasn't for the doctor's suggestion I'm willing to take the pain for giving my kid a natural birth. If people ask why, it's because of the remarkable feeling after seeing her for the first time as she burst out of my body.

Because once you see that child. All the pain kind of goes away. That's what my mother explained to me and I kind of understand. The pain is nothing compared to having this loving baby look at you. You forget the pain and everything with it and just think about this life you brought into the world. I have 2 kids now. I want more, but we can't afford it and I think it's unfair to that child and to my current children to place us into a situation like that, but I do want more. My 2 child was all natural and I would do that again because the ending goal is always worth the pain.

Part of having a baby is going through the delivery. this involves labor pains whether we like it or not. labor pains can be cruel, but we can forget them once we see that beautiful baby in our arms. When you have another child, those labor pains are the furthest thing from your mind.

I'm willing to go through that process again just to have another baby to cuddle in my arms and to keep me awake till the wee hours of the morning. The sacrifices a mother has to endure does not outweigh the happiness a child brings in a family. I always want to go home welcomed by the hugs and kisses of my children.

Oh I can't wait to have a child. Well I can wait haha but I am so excited for that time of life when starting a family is a reality. I think the pain will be scary and real but creating something that is half of you, words can't describe that.

Hi. mermaidivy. When I was having all of my kids in the labor room, I was praying that the pain would go away. I vowed to myself that I would never have another baby again. But now as the time has went by and the pain has went away, I want another child. Just not right now, but sometime in the near future though. So, just don't think about the pain that the child brings upon you, just think of it as a blessing from God. Take care.

Well I have had three beautiful children. The first one gave me a hard time in labor. I was given medication to deal with the pain as it was horrible. Then five years later I had my second baby, they did give me a mild medication to deal with some of the pain but it was not nearly as bad as the first one. Then came my last baby. By the time I got to the hospital they said that there was no way they could give me anything as I was too close to deliver her. But I really did not need anything as it was not a real hard labor. So with me the labor got easier with each child.

I'm not going to deny the fact that I felt a lot of pain when I was going through labor with both of my children. I was one of the few women today that opt to do it without an epidural and both of my labors were also induced to a certain extent so I had a pitocin drip which meant that the contractions were more intense and thus more painful. However, I forgot all about the pain the moment that both of my children were placed in my arms and that is the reason that I wanted to do it again after my daughter and if we could afford to have a whole house full of kids I would do it again today.

I really can't complain about the labor as it was very quick and some pain but not for hours or anything. My daughter however was born at 29 weeks so that was really scary. I am happy to say she is a very smart three year old with no complications but for us that risk is too high to have another one. After three months in the NICU with our daughter it does not seem right to take the chance another baby would have to go through that. My chances are high that I would have another preemie. My daughter keeps telling me anyway that she wants to be an only child. It is strange I know a few moms who are having their second and she is excited to see the baby and then will tell me mommy I don't want you to have another baby! She is such a strong little girl that I know she will be alright being an only child or having siblings if we decide that. I know she will not be bored as she makes new friends wherever we go and I have a home daycare so she has other children around almost everyday. I wouldn't let the labor pains stop me as they do not last forever. I however can not see having another baby that has to fight so hard at the beginning as my body does not work correctly. If the pain was really bad for you there are options to help with it.
