Dueing next month
Ftm here, dueing soon next month. Kinda nervous/scared.. On/off thinking about things like pain/contraction/tear/cut/hours of labour/halfway emergency c-sect/to use or not to use epidural š£ FTM how are your experience? Did any FTM did not experience tearing at all or episiotomy being perform?
Firstly, congratulations in advance! My advise to fellow FTM is, donāt think, donāt read, donāt listen. Everyoneās experience is different, so donāt scare yourself. I was so afraid I was crying so badly before I admitted to the hospital, Iām super afraid of needles, scared of what if it hurts etc etc. I was still crying when Iām on the hospital bed and the nurse was shocked. Anyways, I didnāt know about the 3 pills induce fail need to ecsect thing (I was induced) so one less thing to be scared back then. For someone with a low threshold for pain, my birth experience was painless (my dad says Iām crazy š¤). Once the first contraction hits me, I requested for laughing gas and I didnāt let it go anymore. I was high on it and floating, so when they inserted the IV and epidural, I didnāt feel a single thing. I was so high to the extend the nurse told me epi is done and she wanted the laughing gas back but I didnāt want to give lol. My entire birth process from admitting till labour was 6 hours. Anyways the side effects from epi was pretty bad, I was vomiting and vibrating away while being sewed up, I didnāt even want to see my baby. I only felt alive after 7 hours later. I did have tears, according to my husband, the tear seems pretty near my anus (dk what degree is that). Apart from having slight pain on the first night (20+ hours after birth), subsequenly was just sore but no pain and I can still walk and function properly.
Read moredun think so much. i was induced for stillbirth and the dilation was really slow. abt 30+ hrs of labour. when i was really in pain then i ask for epidural but must wait till 4cm dilated. before that i had pain killer jab and laughing gas. once im ready to push, i just push as hard as i can cause i wan to quickly end it. my husband said i had tear but i dont feel any pain. after i discharge, some pain and sore but is manageable.
