My first natural birth (water breaking on its own) was pain free, i pretty much woke up wet changed underwear went back to bed and got wet again and then realized what was happening... anyways it didn’t hurt I didn’t have contractions when I got to the hospital they gave me epidural and I never felt a thing. My second baby I was induced, again I didn’t feel a thing, now my third baby I am scared I want natural but afraid of painful contractions happening and also induced again just doesn’t let me experience the whole water breaking thing that I wanted to experience again, it’s been years.
