Response from reader: I do agree with all if this but the part referring to labor. All 3 of mine have been completely painful and terrible. And the recovery from my c-section was less than normal. All 3 of my kids messed up their umbilical cords. My first it was pinched between his shoulders and my pelvic bone and was cutting off his oxygen supply- so his heart rate plummeted and I had to have a c-section (after 18 hours of painful labor). Then my second I was able to v-bac but his cord was wrapped around his neck and he had to go to nicu. I very painfullyI labored with him for 12 hours. My 3rd had a know in his cord. Although I was only in hard labor for 8 hours- it was far more intense and painful than other 2. I don't think it's possible to have it be painless. My cousin had her first child naturally without problems but couldn't do that for her next 2 because it was too painful. I think it truly depends on how your nerves are wired and body adjusts. With that being said- I agree you must take care of yourself in pregnancy as much if not more than non pregnant. I'm 6 months pregnant with my 4th and working out and doing kickboxing and I feel a million times better than the other 3. I'm praying it helps with labor but I think my nerves are just wired to give high pain.
My response: Hi - - - ! Thanks for sharing and congratulations on your 4th- wow, exciting! I'm sorry to hear that your laboring has been difficult for you. Trust me when I say that I know most, if not all women would agree with you more so than me. I was pregnant with my first child and miscarried. Shortly after, I was led to and enlightened by an amazing book called Supernatural Childbirth by Jackie Mize. It was through this book and by the grace of God that I changed my mentality towards pregnancy and labor. I will agree with Jackie Mize when I say this, we are SO programmed to believe that labor is supposed to be a painful process, so we walk into the situation only expecting pain, long labor and more and that's what we get, but if we in fact reprogram our minds to agree with the word of God, that we can have an amazing, pain free, quick, natural childbirth and we live in faith throughout the whole process that to it what we can get. We can overcome the many things we have been led to believe with regards to pregnancy and labor by the media and most doctors. I would imagine that it may be a bit challenging to believe everything that I am saying after having 3 difficult labors, but again, I have done it and everything is possible when we believe and have Faith. Good luck to you and yours in the coming days!!!! Thanks again for sharing!
Response from reader: Thank you for sharing and I am so sorry to hear that you had to experience the heartbreak if a miscarriage. I can only imagine how hard that must have been. I will definitely check that book out! I would love to have a better experience this time around and I'm praying it can be so.
My response: My pleasure - - -! I appreciate your thoughtfulness about the miscarriage and although it came as a shock, again, I don't mean to sound heartless, but it happened for a reason. My husband and I personally know why it happened and we were also then led to something so much more amazing... I can only pray for the same for you.
