Tbh I'm not worried about the pain. I am asking for an epidural if it gets bad and I've been told they're a godsend and stop you feeling anything! Can't be bad.
I'm more worried about the way I'll be treated in hospital, cos I've heard some pretty bad stories. x
Don't worry becs the birth will be fine, it's nothing like you imagine it to be and once you have the baby in your arms you forget it all anyway. I was in labour for about 3 days and I'm pregnant again so it can't be that bad can it? lol.
I feel a lot like you all on the libido front. Me and oh used to have sex 4/5 times a week but since becoming pregnant I've had bleeding and all sorts which means we've had sex about 3 times in so many months. I feel like the last thing I want is to be touched or have a penis anywhere near me. I do feel sorry for my husband though, I know he's gagging for it bless him. I hope things change soon.
Tiger Lily, epidurals do stop you feeling anything but there can be side effects like chronic back pain which I have suffered from since having my daughter 7 years ago as a result of having one. Also my epidural wore off before I gave birth and I was able to push my daughter out but this isn't always the case. They can be great but just letting you know my experience.
Mrs Rebeccag, I've heard stories like that too. I don't really want a 'birth plan' as I'm not bothered about how he gets into the world as long as it's quick, haha, but one thing I really don't want is pethidine as I have heard some bad stories about it making you drowsy and disorientated and tbh that's not what I want, I'd rather have the epidural. I have heard some bad things like your story & my oh's mum said they're horrible and they just mean you get the pains the next day instead of while you're giving birth, but that was almost 22 years ago with my oh! Everyone I know who's had one recently says they're a lifesaver, lol. I'm just going to see how it goes, but I'm a wuss so I can't see myself managing without!!!
Also...3 days? Bloody hell. Ah well they say 2nd labours are a lot shorter so good luck for this time! x

I'm 16 weeks so we will all be experiencing it around the same time as each other so the first to go can let us know what it is like.
