No offense but i agree, i found that post really hard to read sorry and i am still a teen so would like to think i'm not that out of touch with things

From what i can gather i'd say that i know the idea of birth and things that can happen during preg are scary but your baby will be worth it hunny and make you forget, or at least not mind, about it all xx

I watched that programme and i didn't find it disturbing at all.
Pregnancy comes with loads of advantages and yes some disadvantages, but knowing that this time next year im going to have a healthy baby boy/girl whos going to be with me the rest of my life, i couldn't give a s!*& about leaking breasts or a saggy belly. Leaking breasts don't occur for the rest of your life ! and you can get rid of that belly in time.

Having a baby is the most precious thing in the world and i think that outwins all the 'cons' of pregnancy. ( Although morning sickness is literally making me want to kill myself )

17 and scared, what I think you have to take into consideration is that if pregnancy was THAT bad, then people wouldn't have more than one.

Firstly i couldnt understand half of that but from what i do understand if you think leaking breasts are a bad bit of pregnancy your in for a big shock!!

Well I'm going to be honest, I absolutely hated being pregnant. I wasn't happy and I wish I hadn't focused so much on the negatives and just enjoyed it. Why would you want to know the cons? Why would you want to be looking out for cons? You take what you get and you deal with it. The "cons" of pregnancy are nothing compared to the pain you're going to endure during labour. However, if you're lucky, you will get the most precious gift at the end of it, and none of that other stuff will matter.

 

[-+vikki+- :D]

if your pregnant
wouldnt all thoose things not seem so bad
after all if they didnt happen neither would the baby.
theyre the things that make pregnancy unique
from normal day to day life
and plus not every little thing that the program says will happen
maybe a couple and they wont happen forever most
of the things you described dont happen til later in pregnancy and there
only annoying.
not trying to scare you or anyone else but if anything was to be scary
its the things that can go wrong not the silly little symptoms that occur.

oh and this post sounds mean but its not promise

I watched the program and can't say it scared me at all, in fact, I had a good laugh watching it... Surely the fact that there were two ladies holding their beautiful babies at the end, even after all the immense pain, is a good thing?

Some aren't lucky enough to be pregnant, I know when I couldn't get pregnant even the sight of another pregnant woman got to me. So I say bring on the leaky breasts.

I'm not saying I've enjoyed pregnancy, in fact its been a nightmare but it all depends on personal experiences. One thing I'd never do is regret it, I feel so lucky to be pregnant and going through all the "shit" that comes with it.

Leaky boobs though, honestly, that's one of the finer points of pregnancy lol

i watched the programme, i found it quite interesting really becasue 2 me the more you know about the less confused youl be IF any of those things were to happen, i do have to admit it is a little scary but the more you find out the less scary itl be. talk to the midwife about any fears. i suppose the only think im scared about is not knowing when im going to go into labour but thats just something i cant really do much about. but im quite calm about the birth and stuff, iv got my hospital tour tomorow so thatl help me aswel. i agree with becky about the leaking breast thing and your in for a big shock. and aslo about the piles, there just something your going to have to deal with lol they wont last forever. there just the little things about pregnancy. theres alot more to it than that lol

 

[Luhweez]

I haven't watched it myself, but seriously, i think you may only be scared because your terrified to tell your mum, as soon as you tell her you will feel soooo much calmer about your pregnancy and the leaky boobs and the piles, although not everybody gets them, i certainly haven't, will all be accepted and you will more than likely be sitting there thinking 'when are my boobs going to leak??' etc.

 

[trishk]

i have had 2 kids - this is my 3rd. i had piles and leaking boobs as well as other things! it is horrible but its all part of pregnancy. your baby will be worth it!

 

[Rach276]

I just watched this and tbh it diddnt scare me atall
Answeared some questions and put my mind at rest if anything

Yeah, not being funny, but it's not a text message and that was quite hard to read - there's plenty of space to write in proper english!

I thought that program was great! At the end of the day, it's what happens - don't worry, you're body's been made to deal with it.

 

[AppleBlossom]

I watched that when I was pregnant and it didn't bother me. You shouldn't be focusing on the cons at all, that will just make you petrified. Yes your nipples might leak and to be honest that's the LEAST of your worries. A lot of women on here would literally kill to have that experience. Focus on the positive, like no matter how scary pregnancy might be at the end of it you'll have a beautiful baby and that's the best feeling and outweighs any cons

 

[Rachiebaby24]

I have not really enjoyed my pregnancy and there are parts of it that arent very nice but I would never think of any part of it as a "con" because i know i am doing this to have the baby that I want.

Seriously, what did you think happened when you get pregnant? That your belly just grew and thats it?? Im not being rude but really, you are 17, pregnant and worrying about your boobs leaking??

I think you should tell your mum as she will be a great help in you learning what will happen and also, maybe go to the library or buy some pregnancy books as they are helpful in you learning about your body changes during and after pregnancy!

Good luck!!

 

[Neecee]

Yep! If leaky boobs and a big belly was as bad as it got, I'd do it over and over again! I understand if you're scared of telling your mum, but she's probably the best person to help you through the pregnancy as she'll understand what you're going through.

Also, read through the different trimester forums on here - they contain a wealth of useful, first-hand information!

I'm looking forward to all that, I'm looking forward to labour... I'm weird. But still, you get a baby at the end of it, that's what's important. You won't remember any of the crap stuff when you're first holding your baby. I liked that programme, it was informative and interesting.
