You might be suffering from major baby fever. Here’s a TikTok video by a mother that explains everything you need to know about giving birth, including the secrets she kept secret.
TikToker Indy Clinton made it a point to tell her nearly one million followers what it was like to give birth.
Clinton opens her video, which has now been watched over 1.6 million times, by acknowledging that “there are a lot things and if…” [she] Everything was possible [she] Probably wouldn’t have given birth.”
She stated that an anesthetist would talk you through the risks of an epidural while you were experiencing the worst pains in labour.
Clinton claims that when you are at the “peak,” they will tell you everything you don’t need to hear.
Clinton says that when you are literally contracting they are telling your that there is a 1 in a Million chance that you will never feel your body again.
Clinton was so afflicted by the pains of labour that he refused to care and wanted an epidural.
Clinton said that doctors and nurses tell Clinton to push “like you’re going through a big poo.”
You will poo your self a lot because you are using the same muscles.
The third fact is that it feels like your internal organs are about to burst if you stand up immediately after giving birth.
Clinton admits even that she believed her liver would be taken out by Clinton.
Yikes.
Clinton shares the following: “The ring of Fire is literally the Ring of Fire.”
Healthline explains that “the Ring of Fire” refers to the point during the birth process when the baby’s head is visible in the birth canal.
Clinton said that the epidural can still feel the baby’s head moving through, despite Clinton giving it.
Clinton shared that the epidural does not numb this. Clinton shares that the epidural is only supposed to numb contractions so you can feel all other sensations.
This fact will not be appreciated by people who value their privacy. Clinton said that everyone checks you.
“I didn’t know that when they check your dilation, they check with their fingers. Clinton said in the video, “I assumed they would look at you.” You lose all your dignity when you give birth and will never be able to get it back.
Clinton shared a shocking fact with me that I found most surprising: “The epidural is 20% Fentanyl.”
Next: You don’t get an epidural the moment you ask. No matter how severe your pain is, the anesthetist will need to see you. They can be busy.
Sometimes, you might even have to wait up to two hours before receiving your epidural.
Clinton shared the idea that you can give birth to twice.
After giving birth to your child, you will need to push out and give birth your placenta.
“They push on your stomach and it comes spurting forth. It’s almost like eating a large steak.
Clinton shares with you that you will “bleed every day for six weeks” after giving birth if you think things can’t get any worse.
Clinton jokes that it’s a small gift that your body gives after giving birth to a child. There are many other gifts that your body can give you, including night sweats and hemorhoids, stitches postpartum hair loss, anxiety, depression, and postpartum hemorhoids.
Clinton really makes it sound fun!
Last but not least, Clinton says that the pains of childbirth are at their end after labor.
Your uterus shrinking back is what causes the pain.
“It feels as if you’re in labor all over again.”
Other mothers commented in the comments section, and they confirmed that Clinton is 100% accurate.
One commenter even asked “is there any good bits?” Clinton replied, “I suppose the child is great reward.”
Clinton’s video should always be shown in all sex classes.
