As much as I love this little baby and want to meet her, I am not going to give birth to her. Nope - no way.
I was under the impression that the 9 months leading up to labour were the worst. Yes I know labour is bad but when you talk to people they always tell you about the morning sickness, water retention, sore muscles, hemroids etc. Nobody tells you about all those little things that can happen before during or after labour.
I just read a website where women posted about things they wished they would have known. I wish I would have read it before getting pregnant or I just might still be on birth control.
First, the pain. I know its coming, but I didn't know to what degree. And then the epidural which itself is great but comes with all its extras like a catheter. And is it really going to be that painful to poo and pee after??
I am honestly sitting here shaking thinking what the hell did I do? I had a d&c so I know what it is like to be swollen down there but honestly it wasn't too bad. And I had a HSG where they shot dye through my tubes so I have dealt with bad cramping but that is where my pain history ends.
Everyone tells me it is worth it. But that doesn't help quench my fears. I don't want to be in pain from pooing when I should be holding my baby. Oh why oh why can't men have the kids?

I know I shouldn't be but I am laughing my guts out! I'm not even pregnant and have the same fear! In fact when a friend of mine delivered in December I had a panic attack for her!
(By the way she says she would do it all again in a heartbeat.) Normal worries!
If men had to have the kids the human race would be extinct because they wouldn't be able to handle it!
