[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in your corner OP, you got this. Labor is manageable. The great thing about pain is that you don't need any advance preparation - you get through anything life throws at you in the moment. Do you walk around worrying that someday you might get a finger caught in a car door and how you might cope with that?

Just eat the dates and it's all going to be good. What an exciting time :)[/quote]

So untrue. I had a malpositioned baby and prolonged labor and was in so much agony I was fantasizing about throwing myself off the roof and was literally having sensations of being surrounded by dead relatives. When she was yanked out of me with a vacuum and no working epidural I felt so badly that I was dying and being ripped apart that I saw my entire life flash before my eyes like people experience when they are dying. Turns out that was pelvic floor muscles getting ripped off the bone and my vagina ripping apart on the inside and my labia being torn. Everyone’s experience of birth is completely different. For me, labor was manageable until it was not. Don’t extrapolate from your own experience how someone else’s will be. We are all individuals with unique and different experiences. [/quote]
