True. Women will always have the tendency to say "Enough with having kids!" but end up having more. This was me when I gave birth to my last child almost 10 yrs ago. It suddenly dawned on me that I really miss being pregnant and having a baby. Being pregnant can be very exhausting but the bond you have with your unborn child is beyond words. It's just so beautiful. Minus the extremely painful childbirth. No doubt it's really painful. It's like between life and death. So personally to me, it's not about the sex. I mean you can always opt for protection right? That's how I planned all my pregnancies. My kids are 2-3 yrs apart. My upcoming baby will be 10 yrs apart from his brother 😬 In my 3rd trimester now and I can't wait to meet my new bundle of joy. This will definitely be my last child because of my age factor.
even with epidural you can still feel everything when its time the baby is coming out.I've watched alot of videos(one born every minute) and they pretty much teach you how to control your breathing and i give myself a pat on the back for not letting out a sound even when hubby is just beside me,he fell asleep while i was giving birth only to be awake after baby is almost out but it hurts still.I swore to him that i'm not having another baby but thinking back your whole pregnancy journey,you will miss it.The movement of your baby etc.Now i want another one after just gave birth one month ago hahahaha!and i'm not the type to handle pain very well
me scared to the max on pain. but heng I have easy labour for both preg without pain. epidural did the job. the suffering is the 9 mths of preg with morning sickness etc plus breastfeeding and pain aft labour. no intention to have 2nd bb but accident within a year. curse n swear like mad at my hub. planning for iud aft I stop breastfeeding in a few mths time. gynae suggested ligation though since I insisted on birth control to prevent myself from being preg again.
Just gave birth 2 weeks ago. Tbh, if you're taking epidural, you won't feel the pain. its painful when you're having contractions, yes but once your epidural sets in, you won't feel much pain at all and no pain during labour as well at least for me. I didnt even feel when my gynae cut and stitched me up down there. Epidural is a life saviour haha.
I will be lying if I tell you it’s painless. However, it’s only that moment that you feel the pain, in exchange for a lifetime (almost) of joy. True that your kids will anger you, exhaust you mentally, but all is worth it especially when they smile so sweetly. I personally wouldn’t mind having a few more kids if I can
I think the pain is just for a brief moment compared to the joy having a family that I have always wanted. i am 31 weeks now and sometimes I worry about it but nah, it doesn’t really bother me. I do yoga and positive affirmations and it helps me really from being scared, to looking forward to my birth.
yes its normal. i thought alot before i gave birth. the pain is a whole new level that i have never experience. starting i didn't want another child. now my child is a yr old and I thought of having another one 😂 the pain is worthwhile. I never knew i can love this tiny human of mine so much. 💓
