I was too embarrassed to have my pics taken and now I wish I had some. :-(<BR/><BR/>Labor is one of those things you can't describe. It's different for everybody. It's like your first ride on a roller coaster. You won't know how you react until you're on it. That's probably why your friends won't describe it.<BR/><BR/>The reward at the end is so worth it though.Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160632952978584244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13605815.post-78590017406273425502008-05-01T23:09:00.000-04:002008-05-01T23:09:00.000-04:00It's too frightening to put up a picture of :)It's too frightening to put up a picture of :)Bearettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14695540798528134304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13605815.post-61619575426263026092008-05-01T22:13:00.000-04:002008-05-01T22:13:00.000-04:00I haven't seen a belly pic lately.

Maybe your friends and family are trying to spare you some extra anxiety. I think everyone's labor experience is so unique that it does no good to compare, but it certainly is good to compile as much info ahead of time as you can. Before my second pregnancy I was a bit obsessed because I wanted a different experience than with the first. I read ALL the issues of Midwifery Today magazine at the library and I think it really helped me.Roxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092366237053524032noreply@blogger.com
