The video we watched in birthing class was disturbing. One woman was screaming bloody murder while giving birth naturally (no pain meds).

First of all, congrats on the soon to be addition to your family! Is this your first child?

Second, I've been in the room with a woman giving birth naturally. It's horrifying. But remember, the pain is only temporary and the amazing thing about child birth (and the human body) is that a woman isn't able to relive the pain once it's gone. It's like your body goes into preservation mode and actually builds a cocoon around the incident. Otherwise women wouldn't ever give birth for a second time if they could actually recall the pain.

Good luck with everything and remember to sit your arse down if you start feeling light headed. I went out on my feet with my youngest child during her birth. Lol.
