What is worse, contractions or the actual delivery of baby coming out your hoo ha?

Question

Answer

If your going the natural route with no pain intervention definitely hoo-ha!!! I just pushed out a 8lb baby and felt every thing 🥵😖🙃 ouchhhh

Answer

Yeah contractions hurt, but I found them doable...pushing and the “ring of fire” was awful! I actually thought I had torn from my anus to belly button and was shocked I hadn’t torn at all!

Answer

Should have done a poll option so FTM’s can see results lol

Answer

Definitely laboring with the baby, pushing was actually relieving. I had a natural homebirth, so no mess what so ever.

Answer

I didn’t feel contractions my first pregnancy, but labor isn’t bad at all. I will say getting checked for dilation is the worse part

Answer

The epidural was great—- I didn’t even feel baby coming out. The contractions certainly hurt before epidural

Answer

I have had 3 kids so far. 2 at 9lbs and an 8lb. One of then at 9lbs I had no pain meds when I delivered. With my first I labored at home for the first half without hesitation. 2nd I ended up having pitocin to move things along and slept through it all (no pain meds), 3rd was born within 6 hours total. The contractions I could always breathe through and even though painful the pressure with the baby actually coming out is unbearable even when I had pain meds.

Answer

I only had around a 10 second break max with contractions for around 4 hours and it was excruciating. Luckily labour was short but pushing definitely was relieving for me!
