As much as I didn't want to get an epidural I'd do it all over again. I even had to have 2 done! It really wasn't bad at…

those cervix checks are the worse, followed by contractions. I cried in pain every time they did one, and begged for them to stop...and my ob said "if you can't tolerante this , you shouldn't be having a baby...and you should start thinking about getting the epidural or you won't make it" true is....I was able to give birth without an epidural or pain medication... even after they induced me, which makes labor and contractions wayy more painful... and I still think those cervical checks are very painful and not necessary

Me neither! But for some reason even after I got the epidural the checks still hurt like fucking crazy. I hated it. Cried during them hahah like a wuss but I don't even care. Contractions were nothing!

Yup the check in the office was tolerable .... But the ones while I was in labor were unbearable 😩. My husband and I still talk about all the screaming I did during them !

Really? The checks didn't bother me one bit in the doctors office and when I had my epidural. Now when my epidural wore off and she checked me during contractions I about cried then. I was begging her to stop it hurt so bad. I was lucky though and didn't even feel pressure at all or the need to push. lol @emkasting @lisa0488

Omg the cervix checks were awful !!!!! By far the worst part of labor

I didn't mind the epidural either. Contractions weren't painful for me though, only the cervix checks 😁 but I don't see any issue getting an epidural! It helps you take time to enjoy the experience!
