Honey, childbirth is something that your
body is built to do. Don't forget that
there are various options for pain relief.
Your body will know what to do when the
time comes. How far along are you btw?
You're right about the c-section though.
You can't have one of those unless it's
medically necessary. From what I've read
too, it's more painful to recover from
that than a vaginal birth.

C-sections hurt way more than labor. If
you're afraid of the pain of childbirth,
ask for an epidural. You'll feel sore
afterward, but nowhere near as sore as
you'll feel if you've had your abdominal
muscles cut open, pulled apart, and sewn
back together.
Let your doctor know that you're having
trouble with your prenatals. You might
want to take Flintstone vitamins instead,
plus a folic acid suppliment. Or you can
drink Carnation Instant Breakfast plus a
folic acid suppliment. Both are good
sources of vitamins.
Good luck.

Why would you want to have a c-section if
you can't handle pain? It's not exactly a
party.

with an epideral my labor was
painless..seriously. I had a little
discomfort but i never ever felt pain. C
Sections are much worse for the baby and
for recovery for you. Go to some birthing
classes and educate yourself, maybe it
will take away some of the fear..and trust
me by the time your 40 weeks pregnant you
dont care how much it hurts you will want
that baby out so bad.

Try taking your prenatals at night or with
a small meal. Taking them on an empty
stomach gives a lot of people nausea. I
used to eat my breakfast around 7 and I'd
take my prenatals around 10 or 11.
Your doc won't give you a c-section unless
it's necessary or if you have already had
one. Don't be afraid to ask for an
epidural and don't let anyone tell you
your a wimp or anything else because you
want meds. I envy the women that can do
the whole thing naturally, but I
personally couldn't have done it and that
is nothing to be ashamed of.
You'll be fine and good luck to you

Because i'm so little i will most likely
have to have a c-section.
To me that really sucks and i realise that
she has my best interest at heart as well
as Gracies.
Recovery time is so much longer plus i
just want to experience it all by having a
vaginal birth.
