Cheer Up Dear..Actually Labour and labour pains differ from every individual..so it doesn't mean that since u'r cousin had long labour ..u might also have it ! And on top of it,no point worrying dear...'cos v will know it when it really happens to us..say in another 3 months..u know as i always feel..does worrying help?? not at all..!!!!!!!keep u'r cool..be cheerful..listen to music..have gud food,take rest and
relax buddy..everything will be alrt..kk??

Take care n no worries Dear Mihika replied. Hi Sirisha,

Though your cousin had labour pain for a long time, look at the positive side of this that her delivery was normal and main issue is the baby is healthy and fine. I have heard many of them who have gone thru such long hours of labour but hv also heard from same people that we u have ur little angel in your hands you forget everything what u have gone thru. I very well know that it is easy to say but when u actually have to face, it is very difficult.

I totally agree with Dee, Raji & sandhya that every labour is different.

Bye and take care,
dee replied. i wud be lying if i say that i dont get tensd thnkin bout the labor n delivery.

but then thnkin practically i come with the same thoughts as shared here by sandhya n raji.we shud get prepared for the comin time n not get scared bout it.also its true that all of us r not the same.si it is so very much possible that u dont ve to go thru wot yr sis went thru.

instead of gettin scard u shud try gainin more info bout this entire process.

so jus cheer up n try divertin yr mind frm such thoughts.

take care

dee Raji replied. Hi Sirisha,

Delivery experiences differ from person to person. I dont think you should start worrying about it now. Cross the bridge when you come to it. You need not necessarily have a long labour or a painful one. I know of people, my own sister and my cousin, who had a quick labour. My cousin even said that it only felt like a very bad back pain, nothing else. With my sister, her both kids were out in a couple of hours after she was admitted. So chin up and dont think about it now. A doc at my clinic told me, dont worry about anything now. God knows when the baby comes out you will have lots to worry. So cheer up!

Best,
Raji Sandhya M replied. Hi Srisha

Having had a normal delivery myself,I have just one piece of advice:\"; cross when the bridge comes\";.I don't think there would be any mother who would say that the pain was plesant.It's good to find information about the real sympotms of actual labour pains,ways to minimise it etc.But,it's not good to think about it too much or confuse your mind by hearing labour horror stories.

I wish you the luck.

Sandhya
