Are pregnant women really that scary?

[center]I heard that they will turn very fat. (My aunt gained 60 pounds during her pregnancy)
and they are very impatient with everything.
and that they are very mean.
I don't want to be like that in the future...[/center]

Wow. I haven't met the same pregnant women you have, thank goodness.
I agree, they can become irritable at times, especially near the end of the pregnancy, but that's because they are getting impatient and excited and likely hurting all over. Most of the pregnant women I've known are happily excited and looking forward to being a mommy.

oh but having a baby hurts a lot... it's scary.

@Kawaii: no it doesn't have to hurt, and it's only scary if you have no idea about pregnancy. If you educate yourself and get a good midwife, there's no need for fear.

@ShockWave1983: I'm sure it will hurt giving birth to one... especially with their big heads. (at least in ultrasounds they have big heads)

@Kawaii:sure it can be painful, but there are medications to help with that. The pain is the most forgettable part of having a baby.

@ShockWave1983: but isn't the medications bad for the baby?

@Kawaii: not the local anesthetics. Like the epidural. It just numbs mom from the outside. No pain, just a feeling of pressure.
