Giving Birth

Post Reply New Topic

It's mind blowing when you think about it.

A whole new human comes out of one small hole.

It’s crazy.

I’m just really thankful that I gave birth in modern times. My son and I would have died otherwise.

Both mine were cut out but even that was pretty small if you think about it

I don't know how other women do it. I envy them for not being an overthinking wuss like me. If everyone was as bad as me then...well no-one would be born. I know you can have C-section but I heard that can be very sore and painful afterwards and can leave permanent damage to your bladder or stomach muscles.

I heard giving birth is worse pain than breaking a bone. I've never broken a bone before so I don't even know how bad that pain is, let alone giving birth.

I found giving birth very painful, but the pain was tempered somewhat by the excitement I felt about having a baby. The pain meant that I would be meeting him very soon.

It also meant that my difficult pregnancy was almost over. I had morning sickness/daily vomiting during my entire pregnancy. I would take birth pains over unrelenting nausea any day of the week.

Mind blowing. Both times, at the final push, I was pretty sure I couldn't push anymore and accepted I might die. Then the babes came out and the "be happy" chemicals kicked in. I still remember the sensation (even sounds?) of the exits. I have relived it in dreams. (The hole is not so little anymore.)

i wasnt planning on having any children but cut a long story short i got pregnant with no intentions of wanting to

i was actually alone when i gave birth alone in my apartment and then i phoned my dad and he took me and baby to hospital.luckily my son was healthy but i needed plenty of rest

it was a horrible experience giving birth it really was and i never wanted to go through that again
i was on my hands and knees giving birth on my kitchen floor it was horrible and traumatic with the pelvic pain and no gas and air to help because i was alone at home
im just glad i got a beautiful baby boy out of it
well hes 17 now but still my beautiful baby boy

^^

That sounds very scary and traumatic.

I've always found it weird, yet intriguing how mammals reproduce. Purposely having another organism live inside you + use your nutrients, then just pop out of you like it's nothing is a very odd reproductive strategy.

Most women seem to just get pregnant and give birth like it's nothing. I mean, just think how painful it can be when taking a huge dump, sometimes it hurts and you can feel your butt tearing. Now take a live creature that's twice as big as a large poop, with limbs attached too, opening up your pelvis bones (sometimes breaking it) and squeezing through a small hole that usually tears and needs stitches. Ouch!! !! ! Why don't other women seem as fazed by this as I am? And because I've never given birth before it's probably more painful than I can even imagine.

I wish humans laid eggs instead. Even that would be painful to squeeze out but not as big as a 9-month-old foetus.

It might seem like nothing if you aren’t in the delivery room with them…

Many people overcome the fear of pain because of a deep-rooted desire to have children that’s even stronger than their fear.

Of course, accidental pregnancies happen, too.

I would honestly like to potentially have my own kids (without using surrogates or whatever), but I find pregnancy and child birth to be really scary. I have health issues that would put me and a baby at risk for complications. I'm also a bit short + don't know if my pelvis is wide enough for that (besides for how muscle and fat are distributed I don't really have "wide" hips like other females). Sometimes I feel a little jealous(?) when people are healthy enough to safely have their own kids and experience that without a second thought.
