Yes, I must be a wimp. I had a horrible IUD insertion. LOTS of pain. Just got it removed today with a LOT less pain but it still felt like someone pierced my cervix will a dull needle. My doctor acted like I was a wimp...didnt come right out and say it but he made it obvious.

So now I am so scared about giving birth that I actually dont want to have children. When I think about getting pregnant and giving birth, I almost cry. This is really embarrassing because I am usually pretty tough...or so I thought. I guess I have a really low pain tolerance down there. I dont seem to mind other things like IV's, injuries, surgery, etc but giving birth scares me beyond words. I'm 25 and my husband really wants to get pregnant next fall. I wish HE was the one to get pregnant because I am a big chicken.

Is this normal? Can someone make me less afraid of giving birth? Is it THAT horrible?????
