Anybody who had a baby?

Contractions feel like period cramps, just worse (like 100xs worse), which is why I had them give me an epidural. I figured, the baby will be sleepy anyway from being born, so I might as well enjoy having her. That’s why I got the epidural. I could still feel, just not the pain. It was the best thing that ever happened to me, having my daughter. :)

u are mostly druged up lol I was in labor for 15 hours than I found out that I couldnt give birth naturally because his head was in the bad postion so he had to do 911 c section on me I was so mad that he let me go that long before grrr but he was born within the hour he was born :) I couldnt feel a thing the 15 hours until thy gave me my epideral that hurt like a mug… that was only thing that hurt

My first two were completely natural (no epideral). Those two were VERY painful. The pain for me was mostly in my lower back and whole abdomen and my pelvis hurt really bad. Period cramps X100. I had a set of twins by c-section with epideral. I did feel labor pains at first but the epideral took the pain right away. With my last c-section it was the same the epideral took the pain away. So if you want very little pain get an epideral. My epiderals didn’t hurt that bad, they felt like a bee sting for a couple seconds.

Yeah everyone’s tolorance for pain is different. I had one when I was a teen, I was knocked out for it. But with my second one omg! I wanted something for pain but my doc came in and said I had a while to go and left the hospital. Without ordering anything for pain if I wanted it. So I had my second natural, not by choice. The pain is unbearable but after the baby is born you kind of forget all that pain.

I think every woman and every birth is different. I only had one child and the pain, well I cant begin to describe the pain. My mother had five and she said it was very different for every one. I don’t think they all hurt, in fact she described one birth like “opening up like a flower”.. A friend of mine had a four minute labour for both of hers and said it was like shelling peas! So for everyone its different.
