Yes it feels like a ring of fire down there hahahaha!!!! But OMG when the baby comes out, it's the most satisfying feeling ever!

I got the epidural but it decided to wear off at 9cm 😊🔫 the nurses said it's too late to try and fix it so I felt it all. I felt like I was making NO progress when I was pushing, everyone was saying "her head is right there keep going" I was so frustrated cause I felt NOTHING but pain. I was so discouraged but I gave one good push and she was out and let me tell you.. It's an instant relief and definitely worth it.

The worst pain ever!! Ring of fire is the real thing. I am going to do it again, all worth it.

But like said above, so worth it!!

Painful AF

It hurts a whole bunch but it is extremely satisfying at the end.

I don't know bc I had an epidural but when I was in labor waiting to dilate more my boyfriend and I heard from our room another woman giving birth WITHOUT an epidural and she was screaming bloody murder.
