@shai_destinnie that's good! I hope I have good experience with the epidural. But I hope I don't get induced. Induced pain is the worst! Forced contractions 😳😖

oh wow , well no mine wasn't inserted wrong it didn't hurt , and my back never hurts , but the pain was bad cause of the induction ,

@bree31 that's a huge relief to know. I've been watching videos and it looks so long and thick like ur getting stabbed or something! Loll

yes we do go thru a lot! but you won't even see the needle. they put in your back, its just a quick pinch!

@marie_0307 that sounds so painful !! I'm currently waking up every 2-3 hrs to pee so that would hurt! I pray that I have a natural delivery no matter how painful it is!

yes c-section hurts so much while recovering especially when your bladder is full.

@bree31 oh my gosh! You've had every experience in the book! That was so helpful! Thanks! I hve zero tolerance when it comes to pain, I faint getting a blood test! Haha so let's try natural with the epidural option! I'll be soooo scared of the epidural needle lol jeez women go thru so sooooo much! :(

@shai_destinnie I've heard that from so many people. They say it's better to get epidural cuz the pain is insane! Lol most peoples back hurts if the epidural was inserted wrong which actually happens a lot to why most women aren't completely numb . My friends sister was BARELY even numb :/

@marie_0307 omg I heard c sections are super tough! I'm sorry :( I pray your next delivery will be natural so u heal very fast!

@mrssabby when should I start the kegel work outs? I'll have to YouTube this stuff. I'm so unaware of it. I'll need to do something because I got pregnant after a month of losing my vcard after marriage and haven't done anything since . It's been 5 months lol

@wovemybabies3 wow I can't believe they wouldn't let u push. When something is natural tho, you shouldn't fight it! Now u know next time to push! Lol I'm sorry u had such a rough labor. Choice of hospitals are so important now!

I was induced, so when you're induced the pains are worse

if you have a high tolerance for pain you will do just fine. this is my 4th pregnancy. with my 1st the epidural was so good I couldn't feel anything at all. with my 2nd I had no pain medication at and it felt like I pushing out a ball of fire (her head), it was like a burning sensation for a quick 1-2 mins, then after that the rest was OK! my 3rd was a c-section, you feel nothing of course but the recovery is horrible, you feel like you've been hit with a Mac truck! but trust me no matter how you choose to give birth, once you see your baby and hear him/her cry you will forget all about what you went thru to bring them into the world!

the epidural did nothing to my back, my back never hurts. the labor pains is bad , it's like period pain 20x worse ,

I only had a set of twins which I had a c-section with. I pray that with this baby I can actually experience labor.

*is

Yes it us, I ruined My back for life, it not only failed, but I felt myself rip, I have back pain every time my period I'm due, I mean horrible back pain, never again.

@wovemybabies3, wow, I can't believe they told u not to push, but they said it to me to and I ended up with 32 stitches inside cause she took the placenta with her, she was ready to come out, that epidural is dangerous

@mmmirage, u can do those perineum massages if you can reach, or have ya mate do it, plus kegels, it helps to relax stuff down there for smooth stretching

I'll tell you my story, I went into labor with my son at 34 weeks and 6 days, but the hospital refused to deliver my son until I was exactly 35 week's, so they made me wait a whole day to give birth to my son, I did not want epidural, but after 19 hours in labor I could not take the pain anymore, I gave in and for am epidural, after 4 more hours my son's heartbeat was no where to be found,they made me wait so long the nearly killed my son, the epidural not only failed, but my son had already taken out his little hands, you could literally see them, I refused to let some doctors tell me I con not give birth so my son, when i know my body was ready, so I told them I'm going to push, u either help me or get out of my way, at that point my son's heart was back and I have 2 pushes and there he was, he did not cry, he was blue and turning purple, he was in respiratory distress, I watched 15 people dressed in white rush my son away, I never got to hear him cry, I never got to hold him, it was awful, there neglect nearly took my son's life, so when I became pregnant with my daughter, I learned all about birth and natural ways to give birth, I also went into labor with her at 35 weeks, I did not know I was in labor, contractions started early in the morning but we're not close together, they began to get worse as the hours went by, I got into a warm bath and would breath through them, I was ready, my body was made to give birth naturally, and I knew everything would be ok, I would breath through every contraction and never would scream, I felt connected to my body, I did not go to the hospital until I noticed my daughter head was crowning, I got there and 1 push push and she arrived,her birth was natural, no medication, no epidural, just amazing. yes she was tiny tiny and had to be I'm nicu, but I was strong and ready to be there for her. I had been there 40 days for my son, I could do I all again for her.

@mrssabby well god bless her! I'm glad she's just fine. That scared me! I didn't know it's possible. Yeah that's the thing, once u get epidural , you're stuck in bed. U even have to pee thru a tube :/ so uncomfortable and awkward. I can't do that! The needle up a spine does sound scary. I want to avoid it but let's see if I can even fight the pain. I'm just scared abt the actual head and body coming out followed by stitches! I wanted some sort of numbing then :'(

@wovemybabies3 oh dear .. We go thru so much

Yep all natural, yep she is fine she was a 29 weeker, now she's 12, 5'5 and 110lbs, I never left the hospital, I delivered in the or, she was fully developed just needed to grow, and once your water breaks naturally delivery is next cause it's no way to stop it! My bestie had and epidural, her legs were numb due to it being in your back she couldn't move around and walk around, the doctors help you push and coach you through contractions, but in some cases your labor can slow down or stop, so just ask more about before you decide! Plus I'm not big on big needles in my spine!

It's very hard, different for everyone, it's so painful , unlike any fiscal pain I've ever felt.

@mrssabby wow so u went all natural! When u aren't in control in epidural. Doesn't doctor help u push?? Atleast the pain will be less :/ and u said your first baby was only 2lbs 6oz!!!! Is he or she ok?? Is it possible to give birth to such a tiny baby?? :(

Lol my first was a preemie with the head as round as a perfect orange 2lb 6oz labor was short and hard, no drugs at all due to my condition. My second 6lbs 2 oz, I had iv Demerol felt everything and remember standing up in the middle if the bed pushing cause I didn't want a c section or epidural, I was induced which is 10 times worse than your water actually breaking. With this baby I have to admit I'm nervous, but I'm going for iv drugs again I wanna be awake, conscious, able to walk, and in control which with c sections and epidurals you can't and are not! I'm just scared that I'm gonna go in labor and be at home alone, and I refuse to call 911☺️

@soon2bmommy425 seriously girrllllll lolll

Oh you're so right about the ending! Nothing will be given to us that we can't handle :/ I'm just so scared of pain, I've had two hugeee cysts on my ovaries and my menstrual cramps were so intense that I would be sweating and kicking my legs and faint most the time. According to that pain, my obstetrician said it'll be a piece of cake loll but I dno., the stitches and all! Ahhh I just pray I have a natural birth no matter how much the pain because c-section is just horrible! No one wants to be cut open :/ @suer15

Lol

Awww it's different for every woman, every pregnancy. My daughters birth was a bit painful but my sons....wow!!! The pain for his birth was sooo bad...I remember just gripping the side of the bed and just squeezing...crying with every contraction...and the contractions felt like a long painful menstrual cramp...I actually think the size of the baby might make a difference...my daughter was 6lbs7oz while my son was 9lbs2oz....I'm thinking I carry small girls since now with this pregnancy my belly isn't showing as much and it's a girl....anyways..best of luck to you sweetie...and remember as long as you are well prepared and have a good support system you will be fine...we women are strong...nothing is given to us that we can't handle.. :)
