Pregnancy and Labour
Well, where do I start? I always knew giving birth was going to hurt but I honestly didn’t anticipate what happened! All labours are different. Each woman has different circumstances. Me? Well, I have a condition called Spina Bifida Occulta. Usually this causes no pain and only 5 percent of the population has this condition (according to a specialist), but I feel very unlucky now. We discussed pregnancy and labour and how my condition would affect it. We knew the pain would get worse due to the additional weight my back had to carry, only at this point I cannot control it with painkillers. I got on with it, plenty of rest, nothing too strenuous.
