the excitement of giving birth..

It is all worth it in the end everything that we put up with and everything that might happen once you look at the baby it's like something else. Like a feeling of total peace and understanding. Holding the baby for the first time after feeling it grow. It's just truly amazing. A lot of people hate being pregnant I wasn't one of them I enjoyed and loved feeling the baby.

You know, with each time I have given birth I have said that I would never do it again because of the pain that I have gone through during the labor process. Each time though, seeing the beautiful baby that results from the pain is worth all of the pain we go through. I have told my self 6 times now that I would never do it again. After 7 childern, I really am done this time.

i agree...i remember the time when i was still pregnant, i was so afraid to give birth because of some stories that were told to me that it was very painful...when the time arives for my baby to come out, i was so nervous...the labor really is the worst part of it coz that is time you feel the pain but for the giving birth itself, you can barely notice the pain...when at last it was finished and heard my baby's cry, i said to myself that it was all worth it...

I had two natural births. That's right not even an asprin. I know a lot of people say once you hold that baby your forget about the pain. Let me tell you I love my kids and went through all that pain to have then and have not forgot one second of it.

During my pregnancy some of my friends asked me if im quite afraid of giving birth..i said NO and somehow i have this feeling of excitement, eagerness to see my first baby, i haven't gone into ultrasound for i want to be surprise for that day, i'm having a dry labor, it's really true it was so painful, no such feeling as painful as it is but its worth after all..seeing my 7.4lbs little angel with his thick black hair at around 5:50am, it really touches my heart...as if tears of joy falling into my eyes on that time...no such feeling can comprehend the joys and pain of giving birth.As i see my baby now growing big..i can still recall the times we been through...those were the days:)

What pain? Its over went you see the little angle. After two children and all the up and down with them I have forgotton all that. No pain no gain

I agree. The first moment of motherhood is the best in the world. I felt that 3 times and it just kept getting better.

It's amazing how it works, isn't it? One minute, I'm cursing hubby, telling him I never want to do it again, it's too hard, etc, next thing I'm telling him I want to do it again! It is so painful and so incredible at the exact same time! My SIL gave me the best advice though - 'when they tell you to push, do it, because as soon as you do you feel so much better!'

i am currently 8 months pregnant and thinking about the pain that i would later feel in labor sends chills on my spine. i am one person who can barely tolerate pain; and as the 9th month is coming near i can't help but be afraid. all i can think of to ease the worry is just the baby and how he'll look like when he arrives. i know it'll all be worth it then. :)

Isn't it an amazing feeling? Everything you've endured up to that point of holding your newborn for the first time...it's just gone. There's nothing that can take away from that moment. I so hope I get to relive it soon. :)

I think that we must be programmed to gloss over the pain, or none of us would ever have more children! Seeing your baby for the first time makes all that pain go away. What an amazing thing. Congratulations on your precious babe!
