Labour and Birth - Things the Movies don't tell us!!

[Me, My Girls & I]

i think they only gve you the bum pill if its a really bad tear! they told me about it before i went into theatre and i completely forgot!

and they dont tell you about the finger up the bum cos you tense if you know! they told me with K, but didnt with E, but i knew what was coming and had ridiculous amounts of gas and air

I administered one after a C-section..... Pain killers and anti-biotics in one hit......

I'm loving this thread now I feel like i have the next 6 months to prepare myself hehe x

I wasn't meaning to start this thread for negative stuff, just anything that you experienced, although everyone is obviously diffrent it's really good to know what COULD happen x

Even though I'm S**t scared of the experience, at the same time I can't wait! x

@ alice

Lol nope i dont think i tore my bum but I had a bum pill lol.. i had an episotomy though so god knows. Wasnt painful untiil a few days later .


Oh and when your water break.. i was told i didnt have a lot of water but literally every time i stood up it gushed out of me... i ended up sitting on the bed with a towel between my legs cos i was just getting soaked everytime I stood up. :S

There are some positives too . Your body pretty much knows what to do and takes control of the situation , you'll know when you need to push and how to do it . The endorphins afterwards really and truly make you feel amazing too , like your superwoman . Its a painful experience no doubt but its amazing .

Bum pill? I feel like I missed out lol!

The farting thing (pmsl & Alice!!!).... I didn't fart so much after labour, but it took about 10 days to do a poo afterwards... And the build up of gas that must have been there.... Man my hubby and kids were actually gagging!!!
