Besides meeting your baby, what are you looking forward to about labour & birth?

Question

I'm a ftm needing to read positive outlooks, as I've been very anxious about the pain, lack of control, damage, recovery etc. I need to turn it around. Hearing from empowered mamas will help.

Answer

It's so empowering! This will be my 3rd delivery and I just love how strong I feel. I also love the bonding it brings to my husband and me. We both talk often about how much we love doing labor and delivery together and how special is has been for us as a couple.

Answer

This is a weird one. So with my first baby as soon as he came out....well after the excitement and seeing him....I pushed on my belly and could feel the other side of my body. All my organs were still pushed up and it was the coolest feeling. I'm excited to be able to feel that again. 
And the free food once the baby is born!!

Answer

I'm looking forward to the ending of it... 😂 Just kidding. I mean, I am. But I'm also looking forward to see how my husband is going to be while I'm in labor. 😅

Answer

Oh my, I am completely weird but I enjoy labor. I have already had 3 baby's and currently 32wks with number 4. My labors so far have been super easy. All deliverys were natural, and I've had my babies within 2 1/2hrs of getting to the hospital. Good luck with yours

Answer

This might sound really silly, but I've been needing to look for the little positives too, so I found one the other day: I got some hard candies to suck on during labor, and I'm excited to be able to taste those. Haha. It sounds dumb, but I need to have something to look forward to besides all the pain and crying.

Answer

I'm excited to see my wife hold our baby for the first time. I've held him for 9 months at that point so I'm excited to see her hold him and love him. 💚 she's a good momma already and it makes me love her so much more.

Answer

Hes 6'8 and terrified he will drop him or something  i was like nahhh cause youll be sitting down just in case.

Answer

I'm excited for the labor part really. The beginning specifically when you know it's time! I can't wait for that and just want it to be here already, going through the labor part with my husband is probably what I'm looking forward to. For some reason I'm not scared of that part more frightened for the pushing and possible tearing!🙈😫

Answer

I am looking forward to working through the motions of labor with my spouse and discovering how truly strong and powerful my womanly body is. I can't wait for the victorious rush of endorphins after pushing my little guy out!
