I'm afraid to get pregnant and give birth. It might be because of that moment you mentioned about losing control. Was pregnancy a positive or negative experience for you? On a scale of 1-10, how painful is labor?

    ha!

    i think we all forget childbirth is natural. we've been doing it for a long time...

    but i was that chick that never thought about marriage or kids. and thought i had this life thing figured out. so during labor i had a brief moment when i thought "wait. i'm not ready!" but, 3 pushes away from bringing a life into the world was too late. i couldn't push him back in - because at that moment, i may have :)

    i loved being prego! the thought of something growing in me creeped me out for a bit but i got over it.

    i won't lie. it hurt (like a 10+), but i like to think it hurt because i was induced and couldn't walk around... but pain isn't something you think about, during the making of the baby or the raising of the child :) you know it hurts like hell, but you forget. kinda like arizona summers!

    you'll know when it's time. just enjoy the ride and pray for a healthy pregnancy and healthy child.
