i am TERRIFIED of giving birth. i'm only 15 and i'm not pregnant or anything but it always makes me really nervous whenever i think about birth. if you have given birth can you describe it for me? like:
1) did it hurt? (if yes how much)
2) did anything umm... rip (lol you know where i'm talking about)

1) Yes. It does hurt. Can't lie to you about that one. The more relaxed you are and the better shape you are in the better it goes.
2) As a rule you don't rip because most docs will cut you so you don't. The reason they do this is because it is easier for a straight cut to heal.
3) Sure! Babies are really worth it, and you do forget it quickly. The first is the hardest. After
the first one it gets easier.
