Hi mama, Iāve been in your shoes 8m ago. I cried so badly before I accept the fact that I have to be induced that night and my husband was like āomg what happenā. š
Hereās my birth experience. Iām someone who has very low threshold for pain especially when in contact with needles (I black out). I would say my entire birth process was painless. Just grab the laughing gas when you feel that contractions are unbearable, request for epidural if needed. I was hugging onto the laughing gas and was high on it that I didnāt even feel anything during epidural and IV drip.
It sounds really scary but I would say take it slowly. Wash your private area with Dettol or mild soap after peeing/pooping, it helps speed up recovery by a lot. This donāt hurt at all š For poopoo, they will give you stool softener so you donāt have to strain while pooping. Overall I was waddling for the first 4-5 days cause Iām scared but I was able to function properly after that.
Donāt watch birth videos, donāt listen too much. I listened to peopleās birth experience saying how painful xxx is and I ended up stressing myself. Every birth experience is different. šŖš»
Good luck mama!! Remember to hang on to the laughing gas!! š«¶š»
