child labor
I love kids and I want to have my own kids some day. But the thing is, my number one fear in the WORLD even over death is child labor. I read in a magazine, "On a scale of 1-5, labor is a 10." I know there are drugs you can take, but people still tell me you can feel the pain. My mom said when I was born it didnt hurt, but I dont trust her because I think she was trying to make me feel better. And what about the needle they put in your spine? Ugh, the whole thing sounds TERRIFYING. Help!

Hey, I just gave birth a couple of months ago. Anyone who tells you it doesn't hurt is a big fat liar lol... I had the epidural, because I am not a hero and having me in super extreme pain and upset isn't good for the baby either (this was my rationalization since I originally wanted to go natural), but whether or not you go the natural or drug route is a decsion to make closer to having a baby.
When your mom tells you it doesn't hurt she is not lying. Women have a natural chemical release as soon as they give birth that actually makes them forget the intensity of the pain not that there was pain but just how bad it was. If we didn't the human race would have died out a long time ago ha ha.
I was also terrified I tried to convince my doctor to do a c-section (where they take the baby out by making an incision in your abdoman) also now called "too posh to push" when done by choice, she basically laughed at me and told me to suck it up.
I would not worry about it now, for all you know medicine could change and have created something for painless labour! The older you get the more the desire to have a child outweighs the fear of pain.
Hope this helped

Hey, listen, it sounds terrifying to me too! I'm pregnant now and I have already decided I don't want the shot in the spine! It's called and epidural, and it will make you numb from the waist down. The reason I choose not to go this route is due to the fact I absolutely HATE having numbness in any part of my body.
As for the pain, I'm not sure what that will be like, but if you want to contact me in March, I will let you know what happens if you are still wanting to know.
I'm ygsgirl and you can check out my column to reach me to ask. My email is also posted there.

Unlike the person said before me...you get pregnant, you have to go through with it. No way around it!
Is it painful, sure it is. But it is worth it and your attitude will change someday. It is fast forgotten afterwards. People are different and each perceives pain differently. So one person will tell you its awful and another will say it was no problem at all.
There are drugs they can give you. However, they don't give them until it almost over. Why? You don't want to cause harm to the baby. You don't want to slow its arrival down either. So actually, no drugs is the best option.
They have Lamaze and natural childbirth classes you can go to when the time comes. The biggest thing I found helpful is this. The more you know about what is going on the better it is. I was 17
when I had my first and clueless. If you don't know what is happening it is scary and that makes everything worse. So when the time comes or even now for that matter just do some research.
Needle in your spine (epidural) is also not necessary. Just do some reading and you will do fine one of these days. :)

If you ask a loving mother, she will say labor the natural way does hurt. But she will also tell you it was 100 percent worth it because of the baby that they bring into the world. There are medicines that you can take and I have heard that if you have that needle in your spine, you feel nothing whatsoever. You don't have to worry about it until the time comes, But it is a good thing to keep in mind when you have a boyfriend, as in, You don't want to have a baby without the support and love that comes with a good husband.
