They're not optional. End of the day if you do the crime you do the time

Good luck Lisa

Thankyou all for reminding me why I don't want children. Now if you will exscuse me I am going to go buy myself a chastity belt.

Get pregnant. Go into labour. And tell me that midway through a contraction.
Lacey's had 3, I think she knows what she's on about! 
It's only pain innit...*Is sounding worryingly masochistic*

I did I have and it hurt! I could go in to further details of stitches and rubber rings but yes I agree it would put you off for life!
That's what I feel like watching Bea
i did the labour without any drugs never again

Yup, but I think midway through a contraction she may say something different. And not very polite.

the worst ting about labour is thinking you have to fight the pain.
use it, go with it, and it will be easier pain is you're body's way of telling you what to do
sounds all hippy and mamby pamby but it's true it worked lol!
the antipation is worse than it actually happening (of course i'm only talking about natural, pretty normal childbirth)
course i screamed like a ****er both times though less the second, and i had no pain killers and had tears and stuff then too.

Oh yeah, that bit's a laugh a minute, isn't it? :sobs at the memory:
Crosses legs and makes quick exit.....
I've had 3 babies and never been in labour
C-sections both times
C-sections both times

I agree shed loads and shed loads, worst thing you can ever do (labour or accident or injury) is fight it...easier said than done..but yep...go with it...proper works.
The brain is amazing. And I say that as one of those cynical gits who believes in bugger all
Please remember ladies QOTHT will be reading this, and absolutely cra***** herself 
I have had three, and never really had any problems, but I was really apprehensive with my first.
Lisa, I'm really pleased your labour has got underway......sounded really miserable for you at the weekend......you're on the move now...Good luck
Queen.......Labour is what you make it, and I really hope this hasn't got you feeling scared.
You'll both be stars, and it'll all be forgotten when the little bundle appears

This sounds a bit mamby pamby too... a friend said to me when I was pregnant last that during the labour I should channel the urge to scream my head off into concentration on getting the baby out and using this feeling to push.
I did this, kinda and it helped no end.
I agree re the not fighting the pain thing too...we are complex creatures us humans!

and every labour is different....mine were both ok too really so Lisa will be fine.
Never realized how patronizing I sounded till I read it back

that's what i did. i screamed while contractions made me feel better than breathing after a point lol, but when able to push i just went silent and pushed....popped out in under 3 mins
screaming can make your pushing weaker as it uses most of the energy you are using. sounds silly but it's true lol
I had 3 natural births no pain releif, no bother

Why isnt c section optional???. I cant imagine going through the pain of giving birth the natural way
Ok hun...drop of lavender oil on finger and do home made sweep.And good luck

Because it's major surgery ............all major surgery carries a risk. If there isn't a problem giving birth naturally is just that .........perfectly natural.
Good luck LGNS! ..............hope it's not too long now.
