IBS pain vs. labor pain! I've heard they are comparable and that women who have death with IBS pains (they can be absolutely horrific) can handle labor pains better because it is a familiar feeling. Truth? Anyone out there who has experiences both?

Question

Weigh in I'm curious!

Answer

This was true for me.  Didn't realize I was in preterm labor, was at the hospital for a scan they noticed my cervix shortened. Labor pains felt just like ibs pains.

Answer

I hope this is completely true lol. I've had ibs all my life and the insane pain that comes with it has almost become normal to me because of having it so much and for so long. Hopefully that will help me when I end up having kids!

Answer

I have had terrible IBS pains in the past. Probably the worst pain in my life. Never had a baby though so I can't compare.
