Is Labor Really As Bad As Some Make It Seem ?

Question

Answer

Ill take 28hours of labour any day over a migrain.

Answer

Everyone has a different experience with it. It really depends on you and you pain levels and your mental state. Don't freak out to much just remember that the pain will be temporary and you get a baby at the end. 😀

Answer

From the time my contractions started to when I gave birth it was 36hrs total. I would do that over times 10 instead of being pregnant for 9 months. I had a horrible pregnancy. I threw up every day my entire pregnancy. I had SPD so I could barely walk without pain. It was terrible.

Answer

I was induced but ended up having to have a c section (still coming to terms with that). I had pitocin at like 6am and the epidural at about 9am. I then progressed from a 3 to a 6 in under an hour while napping! But baby girls heart rate dropped twice in an hour and then we found out around 10am that she was frank breech so they gave me something to stop labor/contractions and prepped me for surgery. At 10:32am my daughter was born. It was traumatic due to my own fears but the further I get into recovery the better I feel.

Answer

I honestly don’t even remember how bad it was I just remember it sucked but didn’t suck enough for me to not want another baby when my daughter was 4 weeks old 😂

Answer

I've labored 6 times this will be my 7th. And I hate it. I ask for the gas the moment I cant handle the contractions. I also hate the ring of fire as they call it. But once head is out doctor tells me to stop pushing and I have HUGE relief.
I'm very nervous this time, I don't know if it's that its y last or if its pain. I've lost sleep and only 27 days left until my baby boy will be here

Answer

For me it wasn't as bad as I expected. It was definitely painful but 95 % of the time I felt I was able to deal with the pain. The last moments before the pushing stage were the worst part and at that point I was kind of panicking. Otherwise it was manageable. I do feel like I would be able to do it again.

Answer

The fear of pain for me is the number one reason I can’t enjoy my pregnancy :( 
But, I keep telling myself: I have already experienced being in intense pain for two days... pain that morphine and dilaudid didn’t take away. I had gallbladder surgery and my stupid surgeon rushed, and a week into healing it felt like my insides were on fire. I was in so much pain I couldn’t stand up straight. Turns out he had nicked my bile duct and bile was leaking out... onto the area where my gallbladder had been.
It felt like battery acid on a wound.
It can’t be worse than that, right?😬😭

Answer

As long as you are calm and don’t project the pain to be worse than it is, it is bearable :)

Answer

It's totally doable which is why women have been doing it since the beginning of time. Watch the documentary The Business of Being Born---sooooo good!!
