I Want To Try To Conceive But I Am Scared Of The Pain

I am getting married soon and I want to try to have baby but have very low pain tolerance and even the thought of epidurals scares me.. I don't know what to do? I think I want to adopt but my fiance and his family will be very sad. Help please

Adopt? People usually adopt cause they can't have kids or they really have compassion for some of the kids out there. Are you in your right mind? Most would prefer their own flesh and blood.

I wish that is not the case just that I am really petrified at the thought of it.

Don’t worry, I also have a very low pain tolerant and epidural worked like magic for me. The doctor and nurses gave me laughing gas while they gave me the epidural, so it was not as painful.

I see maybe it's due to watching live video of how they insert the numbing shot and made the lady ouched in pain

Giving birth should be your greatest achievement not your greatest fear. When you change the way you view birth, the way you birth will change.

Dont worry too much i have same feeling before i have a very low pain tolerance but pain is worth especially is you saw your baby
