Baby Story scared me

Sitting here waiting for my normal programming to come on since I'm not usually awake this early. Watching Baby Story on TLC. Was fine until during commercial break they show a preview of what's to come next on the episode. The lady laying in hospital bed in labor, crying "please stop, please stop" all in pain. Made me tear up and get scared. Geez.. maybe I should change the channel..

    I'm watching this now. Sometimes I wonder if these women tend to be more vocal in general. When I am in severe pain, I tend to curl up and cry, not scream. My husband wonders why I torture myself with these shows.

    Me too. I feel like they only make me afraid. Being afraid = not good for the birthing process.

    I don't watch it either - made that mistake at the beginning of my pregnancy and it scared the crap out of me! I do like the show "Bringing Home Baby" on TLC - they skip over the actual birth part and focus on the first 36 hours you bring the baby home.

    I remember with DD#1 I was in the hospital dilated to 4cm and contractions every 5 min. Not too bad, but there was a lady in the same laboring room as me and I overheard the nurse saying she as well was 4cm @ 5min apart. Well this freak was screaming like someone was cutting her leg off! I told the nurse to get her out before I knocked her out! Some women are seriously overly dramatic!

    Clearly everyone handles pain differently. I am not a screamer by nature. That said, I had my second daughter without any drugs and I can honestly say there is no pain even close to what I felt during labor with her. It was way more than I could ever have imagined times 10. BUT, then it was over. And the pain stopped. And I had a beautiful baby on my chest.

    SO, I guess what I'm trying to say is that although not my "style" to scream - it really does hurt that bad and worse. But you deal. And you get a baby out of it. There's no point in stressing over it. The baby's gonna have to come out. You'll either do it without drugs or with (no shame either way, I've done both now). And it'll be over. Seriously, try not to worry about it. It'll be what it'll be.

    I think I saw the same episode- the Doc was trying to break her water, which I have been told isn't all that painful.  Perhaps she was being a little dramatic?  If it is the same episode, I actually felt better after watching it because she got her epi and the baby just slipped out, piece of cake! 

    I can't help but watch every time it's on!  I need to know what I'm in for.
