What is labour and childbirth really like?

That was the best experience of my life. Really It took me less than an hour in the labour room. Earlier that day I was feeling so uneasy and visited the hospital and the doctor told me to go back home that I wasn't ready, got home and was still feeling the same but much worse, went straight into the kitchen to make dinner and after that all I remember was lying and kneeling all around the house,then my baby's father took me to the hospital and in less than 2 hours, my water broke and my baby came. I didnt even make a sound in the labour room but I was feeling so dizzy. In all in all. Glory be to God. It was an awesome experience.

I felt I was put inside a very huge grinder where I felt I almost torn , chopped into pieces , feelingthe outmost pain I almost gave up in but the stronger the pain , the stronger I become to overcome and the will to successfully delivered my son .. and the pain disappeared in slit seconds the after the first time I saw him and heard him cry . " My Una .. he's name is Una I uttered ". Such an amazing day of my life . I am a mother . And I am excited to go through the same process , the same feelings again , few months from now . Please pray for our safe delivery as well as I am praying with all of us here . God Bless .

I have not gone through one myself but have read a few blog posts that captured the labour process. Was finding these posts to help encourage my friend so thought to share those posts here as well: http://pastureliving.blogspot.com/2015/03/second-pregnancy-birth-story-and.html http://cheeserland.com/2016/05/my-baby-2/ http://fourfeetnine.com/2015/03/23/labor-part-deux/ mostly posts from mummies at their second pregnancy as my friend was having her second baby.

The medicine that clear my poo for few days. The moment they shoot inside the butt, the urge to poo right away is so strong that i have to wait for 5 minutes if not it's useless, after waiting for 5 minutes, the nurse say can go, i s*** on the way to the toilet and the toilet is in a mess of all the s*** i shitted out... Thankfully that moment my husband is doing admission process and not around to witness it.

i feel my labour was like getting a chop by some butcher. But besides the pain , its definitely one horrified moment where i get cut alive with sound around despite being numb !

Besides the pain, I was told that it felt like an out of body experience. A super surreal out of body experience.

Anxiety driven roller coaster - which was not anywhere as horrific as I had dreamt it up to be.
