Painful Childbirth

How painful is childbirth, really???

This subject is a tough one. Women who have experienced childbirth will tell you all different answers to this question. My wonderful mother who gave birth to three children completely naturally gave me this answer:

"It all depends on your expectations of the pain before your birth. If you expect it to be hard, you will find that you are right, but fear is different than difficulty. I went in knowing it was going to be hard, but I wasn't necessarily scared. The good part about natural birth is that you forget the pain as soon as you look into your babys eyes, reflect on the experience and realize that you now have this tremendous, amazing responsibility. It is supposed to be painful and that is part of having a baby. It is important to embrace your womanhood and realize that it is a blessing, not a burden. The pain is all part of the process."

Please share your thoughts about birth and the pain!
