Since the day I found out I was pregnant, women have been telling me horror stories about childbirth. I've heard things that would make your toes curl. I try to ignore them, but some accounts scare me to the point of tears. This is my first pregnancy and I don't know what to expect from the delivery. Why do people feel the need to share their most awful birth experiences instead of the joyous ones?

I think it's due to birth experience is a major life experience and some women could find it is very traumatised to them. And some even do not wish to experience it anymore. Try to take the birth stories with a pinch of salt as each individual experiences different birth process. You can attend childbirth course to understand more about the process and what are the pain relief available for you.
