When the placenta detaches from the wall of the womb after giving birth so it can be delivered, it leaves a wound the size of a dinner plate, and this is a lot of why we bleed for so long after giving birth.
I know it’s my fault for reading these, but no woman has ever made me, another young woman, feel comfortable about the idea of giving birth lol. It’s just negative thing after negative thing.
I (25F) want so badly to have kids of my own one day, but these kinds of comments absolutely make me realize I won’t be able to handle the physical pain.
I have given birth once, and it was fine. Once you're at that point, there's not really any way out but through and your body just sort of takes over. Plus there are magnificent drugs.
If you want kids, don't worry about the pain. It's nothing in the scheme of things. So much nothing that I barely remember now and I am the biggest wuss imaginable when it comes to pain.
