Thank you for the helpful tips!  I only have about 3 more months to go, so I don't have much time to get my birthing plan together. Good timing coming across your videos! I would also be interested in the tearing issue as that is a concern of mine. This is my first pregnancy/delivery so I do think of the "scary" stuff, too. I was wondering if there is a huge difference between tearing (something that can happen to anyone) both with and without pain meds.

@cometomyarmsmybeamy I'm not quite sure of the role meds/no meds play in vaginal tearing. I would imagine that it's easier to tear with the meds because you're numb but I can be wrong. I tore without the meds and really didn't feel it! The doctor stitched me up and I was ok. I did my birth plan about a month before my due date. It's really good to do one because thinking about what you want in advance makes it much smoother. I would put a copy of my birthplan on my blog tommorow :) Best wishes!

Did you experience vaginal tearing? Also, at what point during the delivery was the hardest?

[themommybiz]

@danagradaya I did experience vaginal tearing. It's much better to tear naturally!!! The part of delivery that was the most difficult was at the transition stage--about 30-45 mins before it's time to push. It's also the shortest time :)

I was told I couldn't drink water during labor..... just ice chips....

[themommybiz]

This isn't correct. I was told by a nurse that the reason that some hospitals prohibit eating and drinking is because most moms tend to vomit; however vomiting is just a part of it :) Keeping yourself hydrated is vital. I decided to hydrate myself by drinking rather than through an IV. Are you a high risk pregnancy?

Just wondering did you experience vaginal tearing and also which is better, when the tearing occurs naturally or if the doctor has to cut tissue? Also, at what point during the delivery was the hardest?
