I have never witnessed anyone give birth and I could not imagine in a million years giving birth! Watching the women on television giving birth and to see the pain it caused my mother is the reason why I can't imagine this, as it seems like the women are always having a hard time with complications. I can recall when I was eight years old when my mother was pregnant with my little sister. During her pregnancy, everything was fine until after she gave birth. When my mother came home with my baby sister, she was very weak and sore and had a hard time standing up on her feet. Whenever she would lay in the bed, she didn't allow anyone to touch the bed because I am assuming that the movement of the bed was a bit much for her. Watching her experience the pain is partially the reason why I am not ready to have a baby of my own.
I chose this example to share with everyone because this is the only memory I have of someone giving birth. I am not sure if I am ready to witness anyone give birth yet because I am afraid to watch anyone going through such pain. I have been told that some women have had a smooth pregnancy and did not experience complications while giving birth. I'll take their word for it :)
My thoughts regarding giving birth is that I would recommend all women to try their best to have a healthy experience. Smoking, drinking, being involved with violence, etc should be prohibited from your birth experience as these things can harm a child's development. Take care of yourself, eat healthy, and exercise from time to time and continue to do these things after birth.
