Don't get me wrong, I am excited for them. But I also think back to my labors and I feel for her!</p> <p>@Danizaur: it is tough! I think it drove me a little crazy when people were all, "omg fun baby yay!!!!" when I was in pain and sleep deprived and struggling. </p> <p>Everytime DH hears about someone in labor he always says he is so glad he's not them. I think my first birth traumatized him a bit. He said it was the hardest thing *he* has ever been through!</p> <p>@simplyfelicity: every birth is different! My first sad really rough but my second was smooth sailing (painful for sure, but it just went smoothly.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-know-someone-in-labor#post-1989257 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 21:54:46 +0000 birdofafeather 1989257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, just excited!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-know-someone-in-labor#post-1989234 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 21:40:01 +0000 MapleMoose 1989234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, just excited for them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-know-someone-in-labor#post-1989215 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 21:28:16 +0000 matador84 1989215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope!

I was induced with T and labored naturally for 12 hours and honestly, it wasn't as painful as people worked it up to be. So you never know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-know-someone-in-labor#post-1989205 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 21:24:55 +0000 artsyfartsy 1989205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Excited for them but also like "Whoa you have no idea what you're getting into"! Babies are great but I remember the first night at the hospital was nerve wracking and crazy. I had no idea what I was doing and it was tough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-know-someone-in-labor#post-1989189 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 21:16:32 +0000 Raindrop 1989189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of mix feelings. :) Happy they get to finally meet their baby soon and scared/worried that something will go wrong. I don't really feel hurt for them.</p> <p>@simplyfelicity: Big hugs!! Before I had my first... I was really scared too. One thing that helped me but might not help you ... was I told myself all I have to do is get through that one day and I will get to meet my baby! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-know-someone-in-labor#post-1989165 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 21:05:15 +0000 catomd00 1989165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I loved my labor and birth experience so I get excited for them and hope for a great experience! Obviously o ha an epidural lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-know-someone-in-labor#post-1989154 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 20:53:22 +0000 simplyfelicity 1989154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am pregnant with #1 and now I am scared... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-know-someone-in-labor#post-1989023 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 18:57:13 +0000 PawPrints 1989023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm usually thinking, poor thing. And every hour that goes by without a phone call I'm thinking, oh no she is still laboring! Maybe I'll feel differently about it after I've done it myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-know-someone-in-labor#post-1989020 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 18:47:45 +0000 Bao 1989020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope I just get super excited for them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-know-someone-in-labor#post-1988987 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 18:19:07 +0000 littlejoy 1988987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I loved giving birth, as hard as it was. I get excited for them, and hope for an amazing outcome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-know-someone-in-labor#post-1988983 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 18:17:15 +0000 HabesBabe 1988983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I didn't before having babies of my own, and I don't now, either. I kinda cringe if they tell me details afterwards, though (like, 10+ lb baby, or 3rd+ degree tears, etc.). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-know-someone-in-labor#post-1988968 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 18:10:30 +0000 jedeve 1988968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you hurt for them?</p> <p>My cousin is in labor right now and I just think OW! (Course that's not what I told her...said good luck and we are praying). But as tired as I am with a baby and a toddler...I am just so happy I am not feeling like my hips are being ripped open right now. </p>
