How painful it is to give birth?

Actually, on my part, the pre-natal experience is more difficult. When I was pregnant with my 1st child, I was hospitalized twice due to dehydration. I was throwing up the whole of my first 4 months of pregnancy. I can hardly eat cos I'd puke it all up.. even water was not good enough.. I'd take everything out.. It was the worst experience of my life.. Things got better when I reached 5 months. The throwing up diminished and I started eating. I only had to bear then the constant trips to the comfort room to pee and the backaches. I gave birth via caesarean section because my daughter was in a transverse position inside my uterus. She was just too big for me. I am a mere 5 feet tall/short young lady and my daughter when she came out was 8.2 lbs. Although it has been difficult for me, my daughter is well worth it.. nevertheless, i swore to myself that i'll never be pregnant again and go through the whole ordeal ever again.. my husband was ok with it.. he doesnt mind having just one child.. but then 2 months after my daughter turned a year old, i found out i was pregnant again.. and i was like, "OH MY GOD.. NOT AGAIN!!" It was the same.. the constant throwing up, but it stopped on my 3rd month. It's true then what they say that it's only difficult the first time. I'm on my 7th month of pregnancy now. I'm due to give birth this coming 2nd week of May via caesarean section again. And my husband and I have already agreed, with my OB-GYNE's approval, that I'm having a tubal ligation with it.. 2 little angels are good enough for us..

Giving birth is like digging your one foot on the ground,Im a mother of two and experience giving birth on a normal ways and its really painful,and if I remember the pain it caused during the delivery until its recuperation,its really awful,but I will still go through with it,why? The simple answer is,the child you born is worth the pains.Its so nice to be a mother,looking and touching your baby paids off the pains and hardship,because its a miracle how a single cell develops on your womb and become a human.

well i did 4 times..it is very painful but after a while i forgot all the pain...lol

Nah, its too painful. You cant explain the feeling. But when i saw my son, i cant imagine the joy and happiness it brings to me! I was bliss the day i saw my kids after i labor them. The pain is worthy for the gift of life that God give to my children!

Yes, childbirth hurts, but it's really not as bad as you would think. And to feel pain or discomfort for a matter of hours does not compare to the blessing of being a mother for the rest of your life. The minute your baby is in your arms, you've forgotten all about any discomfort you may have had. Plus, if you want it, there's always the epidural.

Childbirth is alway painful. In order to answer your question I have two kids and one on the way. Let me tell you if you would have asked me even one day after delivery if it was painful I would have said "It was not too bad". I know women who have had horrible experiences and they have more kids, although they do go into it hoping for a better birthing experience.

Of course childbirth is painful! However, the rewards are soooo worth it! I've had two children. My first labor was just under 20 hours. The second one was a little shorter, about 16 hours. The only reason we stopped at two children was because of our financial situation. Otherwise, we would have had more.
