Oh My God! I can't believe the day is coming that i will finally give birth to my first baby! Now I have only one month to prepare myself. Sometimes when i think of it. Thank GOD all my hardships will finally come to an end. Specially the first 5 months of pregnancy. Lots of vomiting and dizziness. I can't eat that much, it was hard. As the baby in my womb grows. Suddenly it becomes harder for me to sleep. Both sides of my abdomen hurts. So I always turn left to right and then rigth to left. Now I have mix emotions I am happy that soon, my husband and I could finally see our baby! But I'm a bit nervous whenever I think that the doctor will slice me and sew me! They say it's hard to give birth and painful! Have you experienced this? How do you feel that soon you'll give birth? I don't know what to do! I'm excited and nervous!

I know what you mean about sleeping on your sides. It's really hard. Turning over is hard for me too. I have to move slowly, and I'm always making noises when I do it. I feel sorry for my husband because it always wakes him. I also get up in th emiddle of the night a few times to use the restroom too. I'm due in early December, and I can't wait either. I always wonder what my baby will look like, and I can't wait til I finally have her in my arms. Giving birth has me a little nervous, but I understand my body was made to do it. I don't think it'll be as bad as everyone says. It's only for a day, and it's only the beginning. I'll always be my daughter's mother, and there's just so much to look forward to. I'm just trying to enjoy the rest of my pregnancy now. I realize that when I do have my baby, everyday will be a blessing. I just cannot wait. God is good.

Oh yes, God is good! My doctor always tells me that it's a blessing. I thank GOD that I'm one of the lucky women around the world to have a baby. Unfortunately others cannot bear their own baby. Though they can adopt. Same here I make noises whenever i turn around and my husband wakes up. And there's a time, early in the morning when we are both awake. He talked to me and i looked at him and suddenly I vomited! Good thing I covered my mouth very quickly and run to the comfort room! What a lucky man!

Congratulations, since I am not a mother I think it is very brave when I hear of women going through all of that, nature is a crazy thing. I can't give you too many words of experience, since I do not have any, but I know that you will make it through that pain and you will be a very happy parent with your husband, but I also know that you won't sleep well with a baby either, not for a while at least hehe. I wish you the best of luck with your labor and very joyous days, I suspect you won't be here as often when you have your child to care after. Happy mylotting and have a great night or day!

hey, congratulations!!!! I gave birth via scheduled CS two years ago. Though I do have a high tolerance on pain, I think I felt nervous when I was on the operating table already. I was just so excited to see our baby. It was all worth it. When you see your baby, you'd forget all that you experienced when you were pregnant. I vomited every single day for 9 months! LOL! When I hear my baby converse with me now, NO REGRETS at all.

Good thing I vomit only for 5 months. I think it will be much harder if I vomit for 9 months. And Congratulations to you too! You've already surpass the pain and now you can see and play with your baby. :D
