Hello..
I am approximately 12weeks pregnant.
First baby's labour was horrendous, all was fast, a very 'easy' labour (so my Mother likes to remind me) but I did not cope one bit with the pain! The cord was wrapped around baby's neck but I refused to push and kicked up a lot of fuss. Not Good. I had horrible nightmares for months afterwards and promised myself that I would never have another baby.
2 years later - I am pregnant again. I am petrified of having to go through childbirth!! But am trying to relax myself and 'just go with it'. The chances are that my labour will be over and done with fairly easy, my first labour only lasted a matter of hours at the most.
Does anybody have any tips and suggestions for dealing with labour pain? I know I probably sound like a complete baby but I do not want to be in the position again where my child is at risk and I am refusing to cooperate with the midwife.
Thank you for reading.
