Treesah Quiche I can understand why women would be afraid of giving birth, and honestly, I'm surprised that it isn't more common. Even some pregnant women I've talked to confess that they're excited about being mothers, but not so much about having to give birth before they can be mums, but I guess by then you're already invested into the whole having-a-baby thing and your worries and fears are written off as "normal anxiety" and something you'll get over. Even if I were drugged unconscious through the whole thing, I don't think I'd be okay with it. My mum told me that giving birth tears up your v****a and the doctor has to sew it up afterwards and it can hurt down there for a month. gonk Depending on how the labour and delivery goes, you might need upwards of 10 stitches down there (I was lucky, and only needed 3). As far as 'hurting down there for a month', it takes minimum about 6 weeks to heal from the stitches, and God knows how long to heal from internal hurts (pulled vaginal muscles, for instance). You also bleed for about 6 weeks solid, like the most heavy period you've ever experienced (like, a HUGE overnight pad is filled in 4 hours), give or take. Some women, it's a little less, some bleed for longer. No matter how invested one is in 'having a baby', childbirth is still terrifying. It's that ... well, no matter what happens, you're going to have a baby, no matter how terrified you are. No matter how panicked you are about the whole thing, short of having something serious happen, you will be pushing something the size of a watermelon through something the size of a lemon. Terrifying. |
