How does it feel being a teenage mother? was birth and labor scary?

If you are or were a teen when giving birth tell me , were you scared going into labor and giving birth? how did you give birth ? vainally or cesarean? were you excited or feel like you were dying? How hard was it taking care of the baby after birth? What was going through your mind when your water broke and you started having contractions?How does it feel being a teenage mother? was birth and labor scary?
I became a mother at the age of 15. I wasn't really that scared b/c I had a ton of support on both sides. I also went to the doctor regularly so I kind of knew what to expect. I delivered my daughter vaginally. My water never broke on its own, they broke my bag of waters to make my labor progress. No matter what age you are when you have a child, it's always hard taking care of a baby. (Now, I have 3 children and I'm 23.)How does it feel being a teenage mother? was birth and labor scary?
Of course its painful and scary. I Have never had one but imagine a big orange coming through that litle hole down there

I am 18 and I have a 4 month old son. Having support throughout labor and beyond is the most valuable thing you can bring with you to the hospital. You will surprise yourself at how brave you can be. Just tell yourself that there is absolutely nothing you can do about giving birth--it's going to happen whether you like it or not, so why worry? I had chronic panic attacks for years, so when I got pregnant I thought I would die. When I got to the hospital (they had to induce my labor after 40 weeks...egh...) I was in labor for a total of 16 hours--I pushed for 3 hours. I could have done it without the epidural if I hadn't had to be attached to the bed (I had Strep B and they had to keep me on antibiotics). The birthing ball was wonderful. I did not panic. Contractions hurt in the same place you get period cramps, but it's a lot more intense. You will probably cry. You will say not-so-nice things to the nurses or your support, but it's their job to put up with you. Breathe and know you can do it. After the baby is born, accept all help. You will feel like crap especially if you have a cesarean (I didn't and it took me 4 weeks before it didn't hurt to cough). Your baby will smile at you and need you and you will be too full of yourself to notice.
it was kind of nervous going into laobr cuz of all the horror stories other mommies like to share so freely,but it ended up being not so scary.i delivered my son when i was 17 vaginally, i think the biggest think w/ labor is how tiring it can be but they can offer differnt meds to help you rest or for pain,i didnt have the epidural though so i didnt rest to much but it wasnt all that bad the dr had to break my waterand i was in labor for about 19 hours in the hosp. and only pushed for 1/2 an hour you cant even remember much afterwards mainly the begining and close to the end and when you have your baby in your arms,good luck and enjoy your bundle of joy and many more emotions to come
