I Fear Giving Birth

I'm not pregnant nor do I plan on getting pregnant ever, lol. But childbirth seems really scary just for how painful it looks! I had an opportunity to see my sister giving birth when she had her baby last Saturday but I chickened out. 😥 But oddly enough my sister says the depiction of women giving birth in the media seems a little overly dramatic, having given birth herself twice. She says it is indeed very painful but it's never had her screaming in agonizing pain. But then again, she was on painkillers both times she gave birth so maybe it really is that bad doing it the all-natural way. 😅 She did tell me once that "If it hurts that bad even when I'm on pain medicine then I don't ever want to experience a natural birth!" 😬

Meds worked wonders with my first labor.
I was induced and spent 36 hrs in labor they almost did a c section but my body finally cooperated in the last hr lol
I slept through the night and everything with the meds lol 😂

With my second The meds didn't work and he epidural failed even though they adjusted it 3x and increased the meds to the max allowable for my case - it didn't take 🤦🏻‍♀️ It was the worst most agonizing pain I've ever experienced. But I'd gladly do it over again for my babies.
