Was the pain from your second labor different than your first?

Question

Answer

With first pregnancy (still birth at 20 weeks) I supposedly had been in labor all day but had no bad contractions. Literally only reason I went in was because I had dark green discharge. With my second pregnancy, I was cramping around lunch time. I just figured I was hungry. Went to the bathroom and noticed I was spotting. I never had really bad contractions and I got the epidural before they became bad because they wanted to break my water. With my third I woke up thinking I had to poop but couldn't. Realized it could be contractions so I started timing them, they were 1.5 minutes apart. Got to the hospital an hour later and the contractions hurt. They couldn't get an IV in me either so I was definitely not happy. Once I got that epidural I was happy as can be though.

Answer

I have 3 kids, all 3 times it honestly was the same. However I did have the same delivery which each, I didn't have any c-sections or inductions.

Answer

my first labor i was induced and had a pitocin drip. the contractions and pain were so horrible. with my second labor i went was not induced and labored naturally until i had my epidural. it was so much better the second time! the contractions still hurt it just wasn’t as intense. i wouldn’t be put on a pitocin drip again unless i had already had the epidural lol.
