My question is that I am not big on pain! I have been watching birth shows and reading information on labor and delivery but I am still scared. When I try to talk to family and friends about what the pain is like and tell them I am scared they only laugh and say it is too late now. I just want somebody to tell me realisticly what it is like. Any help?????

I think every first-timer wonders this, but the truth is no one can tell you how it will be for you. My mother said "It isn't anything you can't handlle." I have another friend who said "I expected it to hurt like hell, and it was worse than that." I have read on the internet that some women say it is uncomfortable rather than painful. I think the pain really becomes unbearable if you start to panic about feeling out of control. Are you going to take childbirth cla__ses? What are you planning for pain management? There are many good options. Because you are sound pretty worried, I would look into relaxation techniques. Good luck. Women do it all the time- sometimes 8 or 10 times each!
