I just read this comment by a future mommy on the Pregnancy Plus App and I must say it made me feel a whole lot more confident. Looking forward to the birth of my little one.

"Also, to break down labour a bit and make it less scary, which do you think would hurt more? Breaking a bone or experiencing a 20 hr labour? Breaking a bone is a constant pain that cannot be escaped except for pain meds and you must deal with the discomfort and pain for weeks until it heals. With labour pains you experience discomfort through contractions for 20 seconds to 90 seconds at a time every 20 to 2 minutes apart as the labour progresses… if you think about it you only feel discomfort for say… 3 hours of the 20 hour labour. INTERESTING FACT: Labour is pain with purpose and therefore the body naturally shuts down majority of your pain receptors while experiencing labour to help you get through it!!!"
