Mind you, I hope my DH isn't as quiet (would it be rude to say a bit useless) than those 2 blokes!! LOL
Was it just me or did anyone else bawl their eyes out...first for the first lady then again for the second!!! I can't take it anymore!!! Labour is going to really hurt isn't it?
It made me cry too, but coz it was sooo amazing & emotional.
I've been speaking to friends of mine, who have been brutally honest about the actual birth and they've all said that you don't really remember whats just happened! I hope their right - think i'm gonna re-think the use of drugs tho just in case!

I also found that once the pushing stage started I felt no pain, it was like having a big poo lol.

Haha, it is really common to poo when pushing as you have to push as if you are having a poo lol. I did first time round and couldn't have cared less at the time lol.xxx
Our local hospital has a birthing pool room and the ceiling is scattered with lots of tiny star-like lights which they have dimmed to aid relaxation. It sounds like such a lovely environment to be in to give birth. I so hope I have a 'normal' pregnancy and I can go ahead and have a water birth. Apparently everything has to be text book for them to allow it!

I thought it was great and really emotional, I laughed and cried through it all...
My labour and birth with our daughter came flooding back (not such a good thing) and I blubbed for the water birth, I turned to hubby who had tears in his eyes!!!!!!
I said to him, 'babe your getting all emotional',
he said, 'Of course I am, it's an emotional experience and that will be us in 10 weeks".....
AWWWWWWWWWWWW....how cute, made me blub even more...I love my hubby...
he did make a good point, he said that of course it's really hard being in labour and giving birth but watching the person you love in pain and not being able to do anything was really hard as well, especially when the midwifes keep moving you out the way and make you feel your in the way...he found that really tough at the birth of our daughter, feeling so helpless...
gotta love 'em

Ive done it 3 times, and I found the worst bit was the contractions just b4 the actual birth bit, but mine seem to go from 0 - AAAARRRRRGGGGH!!! in the blink of an eye.
And believe me, as soon as your gorgeous little bundle is placed in your arms, you do instantly forget whats just happened. Its a cliche but its true!!
I should stay away from this forum, Im unbearably broody for number 4 b4 its too late (im 39), but oh is saying 'no more, cant watch that again' (close your eyes then lol!!)
Good luck to you all xx
and like someone else said i didnt find the pushing part bad as i knew it was nearly over then. i was only scared during hours of contractions where i wasnt fully dilated yet...but after watching that last night i am more scared of the pushing part!!
also i had sex 2 weeks after giving birth last (altho i hadnt had any stitches or tears) and i wasalso told it went tighter after the baby.
