Which hurts more? 😰

Question

For those of you who’s experienced both, which hurt more?? Contractions being infected or contractions naturally. This is my second pregnancy. With my first, I was induced 😬

Answer

My mum did both and she said natural labor the contractions increase steadily from 1 to 10 where as induction contractions start at maybe 8 and stay between 8 and 10.

Answer

2 unmedicated births-1st with pitocin and 2nd without. With my 1st, the contractions were so bad I didn't think I could do it. Terrible pain and they were back to back, so no break in between. With my 2nd, I had absolutely no issue making it through my contractions at all. Labored all day at work, contractions about 4 minutes apart in the hospital all the way up to delivery and I could have done that forever lol. Like, they hurt, but totally doable.

Answer

Induced! I went to the doctor for a regular weekly checkup and was 6 cm dilated already didn’t even know I was having contractions! They started pitocin when I got to the hospital because my blood pressure was so high we needed baby out ASAP and once pitocin was started contractions got wayyyyy more intense!

Answer

My mom had both and she said the induction contractions were double the amount of pain as regular ones.
