Each time I think of child birth, i get this terrible fear. But come to think of it, becoming a mother demands courage and bravery. And each time the fear of child birth comes to mind i immediately think of how lovely my child will look after birth.

I think if giving birth is that scary women will not do it again.. but look at women all over the world, lots of them had delivered more than one baby and still want more kids... So i believe it is not that bad... hopefully ;p

Well I won't lie to you about it, it is very very painful! Child birth is one of the worse pains you could imagine, BUT, there is a way through it. You just have to focus on the goal you are trying to accomplish. Sometimes breathing (panting) does help to get you through. During all 3 of my children being born, I just kept telling myself God wouldn't give me more than I could handle. Our bodies were designed for child birth so you can do it! The reward for going through the pain is the greatest gift anyone could ever imagine. The pain is certainly worth it all in the end...I did it 3 times and still I believe that child birth is the most awesome thing you could go through. Good luck and try to relax in order to enjoy the birth of your child.
