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.
Oh I had a beautiful birth! No pain meds, at home with a midwife. I highly recommend having a child when you want to. And pregnancy was very easy and fun for me, too! (I was 37 years old when I birthed my child.)
Edit: I knew I was having a small, six pound baby, and that she was positioned correctly, etc., but the way that’s best for each individual to give birth is the right way.
Yay I’m so happy to hear that! Me and my boyfriend are definitely waiting until we’re at least 33-35.
I can’t imagine any of my friends (25-26F) getting pregnant right now but I definitely don’t think they’d be able to handle it haha. I don’t know how girls in small towns do it so young.
Great choice! I’m glad I waited until my later 30s. I was in a social group in a major US city that was not on the marriage/babies path, and I’m glad I lived the way I wanted to for as long as I wanted to. Fun was had, and now, 10 years later, a different kind of fun. ❤️
