How much did childbirth REALLY hurt?

Lauren

On a scale of 1-10, please tell me how much it actually hurt. If you could also comment with your pain rating and also tell me what kind of birth you had (i.e natural, water birth, c section, epidural etc) and different pain relief, that would be very helpful. I’m 18 years old and due my first baby in May, I have no clue what to expect so I’m looking to get realistic, honest views of how painful it actually is and what effect different medication etc has? Thank you!!!
