confusion and pride at the same time

Sin Well I guess we all know my feelings about these things... but I think getting to know your own body is really important. It's a beautiful experience and we should all indulge from time to time.

Staying chaste for a future partner is a completely separate issue in my opinion. You should know how to work with them and guide them, otherwise that 'first time' that you're all waiting for is going to be a pretty awkward, anxiety-ridden, painful experience.

I can't determine whether your being here is a blessing or a curse for me. On the blessing side your postings are a breath of fresh air, on the other hand I'm tempted to come back so I can read them.

Avery lol thankyou I think. Someone has to maintain the sanity around here!

Sin Yes. Great that you do it.

How are you doing?
Have you already had your child or is it still pending?

Joh I have a four day old baby girl.
Born on Tuesday 22/02/2022.

Sin Yay glad to have good news. You're amazing

Sin I have a four day old baby girl.
Born on Tuesday 22/02/2022.

that is extremely nice news, i wish you and the little one all the best

Sin A perfect day to be born...

Thankyou everyone :-)

Tobbe

that's right, a birthday you can't forget

Sin Congratulation
How did you manage to get your baby at that day? This is fantastic!!! ️

I hope you are fine as well and no problem during and after birth.

Sin The next 12 hours was like OMG WTF and the last hour and a half was thoroughly traumatic for everyone! Not gonna lie it was way, way worse than we ever imagined. All I can say is wear your chastity belts girls!

I'm guessing there is some truth in your joke...
Not that I was planning to have kids but now I'm even more scared

Megan I don't want to put you off, everyone is different. My pregancy has been perfect, not one day of morning sickness, I've been hitting the gym three times a week, I've been doing yoga up until I went into labour... So I totally thought "I've got this!"

How wrong I was! My advice: Don't try to be a hero. Get an epidural!

Sin She's soooo cute but honestly I don't know why people would choose to go through that whole process multiple times. It's crazy!! Once is enough for us. I am DONE with giving birth!

I heard it several time but later their hormone kicked in and changed it. Some got more than one child.

Sin So I totally thought "I've got this!"

How wrong I was! My advice: Don't try to be a hero. Get an epidural!

Okay!

Megan yeah still scary

Sin
How did the father manage the birth? I assume he was there.

Sin but honestly I don't know why people would choose to go through that whole process multiple times. It's crazy!! Once is enough for us. I am DONE with giving birth!

we will talk about it again when your daughter wants a sibling
no, seriously. i have heard from many that every birth is different, your pregnancy was perfect, but the birth was probably of the heavier variety. a friend's mother had 4 children and the labour was between 2 and 50 hours, so it can be more pleasant next time.

anyway, all the best futhermore

Joh He was fantastic, but it was pretty traumatic for him too. I was very thankful he was there! I was passing out and unconscious between contractions. He basically descibed it as watching my life slowly ebb away each time. Pretty scary to think if it wasn't for modern medicine it would have dragged on for a few more days and I would have died of some horrible condition like sepsis or gangrene. Childbirth was the biggest killer of women until very recently, and still is in a lot of places.

Angelina No more next time! I would cut my own womb out with a rusty butter knife before I go through that again!
