Any second time moms forget what labor feels like???

Question

I had my son 2 and a half years ago, and I have 15 days left with this little one.  
I can't remember what labor felt like. I know that I felt contractions about 24 hours before going into the hospital, but I don't remember the pain 
Now every pain I feel, I am like, "is that a contraction, is that one..."
Anyone else forget also??

Answer

I forgot and it wasn't even the same. With my daughter my contractions were intense! I knew they hurt and I wanted them to stop. I had my son Friday and his labor would fool anyone. I felt no pain only that my stomach would get hard. I got an epidural and that hurt worst than his contractions. I felt heavy and like I had to poo and pushed a few times and he was here. The doctors kept saying you were born to birth babies!! Every labor is different!

Answer

Yes!! But, it's been nearly 10 years for me!!

Answer

Nope I remember like it was yesterday. I know I'll cry the same way and feel the way pain of giving up. But I had my epidural at 8cm and didn't feel a thing when it came down to push. So I hope it's the same way this time around. Second boy and they will be a year and weeks apart. Feels like I've been pregnant forever

Answer

I am a 4th time mom and I haven't had a baby in almost 10 years. Forgot what labor and everything is like. I am nervous a hell about getting induced on 4/6

Answer

Uh me 🙋🏻🙋🏻 my mom thinks I'm crazy for forgetting but it's been 7 years

Answer

Your body produces hormones when you're in labor to help you forget. It's called "birth amnesia" and without it, we'd all be only children!

Answer

I literally just had a baby May 2016 and now that I think about it...I don't remember for sure, EXACTLY what a contraction feels like. I just know I was a wreck until the epidural.

Answer

I can't say I forgot but ir was 8 years ago.. i remember the pain sometimes lol

Answer

I've completely forgot. My other son who is 7, feels like a life time ago and to be honest I'm actually quite scared for labour as I can't remover how bad it hurts etc. My sister in law who recently had her set of twins has reassured me and told me not to be scared which I'm glad about. Just really nervous😩
