scared of giving birth

Giving birth should not be a scary thing for a properly trained woman! And the best training comes from their mothers I think. Therefore, the best way to be a good mother is to ask those Godly mothers, observe godly mothers, and read the Bible about the virtuous woman in Proverbs 30. Good day to you and cheer up! Congratulations for being a mother soon!

you will know the min your child is born. no worries about being a good mom, if you want children thats a good step. child birth.. egh just think of it as pain, that goes away... then you get this GREAT gift. i was always scared, but the min i got pregnant, i didnt think twice. its scary to think that you HAVE to go threw it. but its really not bad

It's not all that bad, if you have a normal healthy pregnancy and birth. Sure there is a little intense pain, but that all disappears when you see your baby. I swear its magic. As for raising them, learn all you can about PROBLEMS that can and most often do arise as to the health of your baby. How to be patient is probably one of the most important things you should try to learn, including coping techniques and anger management for yourself. Even if you are not the type to get angry. Look into early childhood sites on the internet or new moms. The advice given to new moms can help you before you are one.

Mother INSTINCT is part of being a WOMAN.. so once u get to that situation like giving birth and becoming a mom, your instinct will help you go through all the process and you'll never know you just successfully made it.

Don't be scared!!! it's a GIFT for all WOMEN to become a MOTHER someday....

You should not be scared of giving birth. It is a wonderful experience. Yes, there is pain but when you hold that beautiful creature that you and a loved one created all else goes out of your mind. I know I had pain but I don't remember it. I remember the joy of holding my child.

You will be a good mom. You will learn as you go along. Never doubt that you will make a wonderful mom. It will come to you.

Hi there Sandybel20

I hope this note finds you well.

I have three children, 22, 18 and 14. I know the horror stories you hear all the time from women and their childbirth experiences. And indeed, every birth is different.

Its funny for me to be talking about this because more than anything I wanted to be a midwife. I find childbirth such an amazing, beautiful experience. How two people just showing their love can produce this amazing little person is mind blowing.

One of the things that I always tell girls is this; if childbirth was so traumatic and painful, then why do we have 2, 3 4 or more. You would think after the first time, you'd never do that again. But its not so.

Childbirth induces pain for sure. But you soon forget it, in fact most times as soon as the baby is born. Its painful, no doubt, but boy it is soooo worth it.

So when the time comes, just grin and bare it (sorry for the pun).

Good luck

Cheryl

regardless of the horror stories told.. i had a blast having my daughter, yes.. even the labor. as far as when youll know if youre ready to be a parent. whn you reach a point in yer life where yer fuly capable of putting your childs needs ahead of your own,.. then youll be ready. you cant be a selfish person and be a good parent too. no.. some folks dont just have a mother switch that clicks on when you give birth.. its a learned trial and error sort of thing. all you can do is hope you make as few mistakes as possible. they dont come with a manual

There is just one skill you need to be a good mother and it is patience and in big portions the rest comes with it. It is nothing to be scared of once you have that tiny peace of you in your hands you will guard him with your life. I have 2 and they both came fast one is 2 years and the other onw will be a year next month.

Scared to give birth and wondering whether you will be able to be a good mother to your children is a natural thing for any woman to be thinking about. I am sure you have heard about the pains experienced during childbirth. Sure you cannot escape labor pain but bear in mind that every mothers birth experienced are different. Who knows yours will be less pain and quick. Alternatively, if you dont want any pain, you can opt for epidural or ceasarian, but it will cost you a little. Mothering a child will come naturally. If you are worried that you will not be able to do it, ask your mom or maybe anybody who is a mother.

First off, giving birth can be painful but in these days of excellent pain control and excellent maternal care, there really shouldn't be anything to be afraid of. After all, if it was so dreadful, womankind would have stopped at one child!Secondly, you need no special skills to be a mum. Patience and a partner help though! It's sad that these days there are so many single mums. I am not condemning them but it has to be realized that bring up a child is a tiring task (as well as joyful)and if you have a partner to share the load then you have won half the battle.
No one knows if they are suitable for parenthood - but just like any job you apply for, it's best to be armed with the best knowledge and learn the best skills you can before you make the decision.
