Bearing Labour Pains

I am frightened at the thought of labour

Labour pains are a major damper in the joy of having a baby. The thought of the pain that you have to go through makes you ill. Pictures of pregnant women, screaming in pain, that you have seen in hundreds of films, flash through your mind. You can not get all those horror stories that you have heard out of your mind. This fear is very real, yet very normal.

Labour pains are a fact of life that cannot be avoided. There is no point dreading it and working yourself up. Take a childbirth education class and read up on the subject. Sometimes, the pain is easier to bear when you understand what is happening to your body. Prepare yourself physically by faithfully following a regimen of breathing and toning exercises. Remember that the pain is not going to last forever. With every successive contraction, you are that much closer to the end of the ordeal.
