Don't be scared at all.... hurts like hell for the first little bit, but it's so so worth it! Just remember your body was made to do this! You can do it!
It does hurt like crazy for the first week or so. It depends on how well they latch on and how quickly they learn it. Get those Soothie Gel Pads. They are the best.
I never had any problems. I think it has been my proudest achievement. Everyone said I couldn't do it and I did. The bond you form while breastfeeding is priceless. You won't regret it if you do :)
And it's a different type of pain. It's like a curl-your-toes-for-5-seconds pain and then it's almost soothing. There's all kinds of hormonal things going on. Maybe I'm weird but I loved it!
Hoorah, my lady! You can do it!
