Contractions for sure was the most difficult part. That and having an asshole on call doctor telling you I'm being selfish and it doesn't hurt that bad. That just pissed me off and made me want to decapitate his retarded ass. My husband did breathing techniques with me. He would breath a curtain way and I'd follow what he was doing. It helpped so much. The doctor on the other hand my husband almost beat the living crap out of the guy for being disrespectful.
Yes. Anytime you get a contraction they will tell you to push. But your so focused on pushing the contractions don't even feel the same. Your mindset will be totally different once you know your pushing that little miracle out 💙
Pushing doesn't hurt at ALL. The struggling through pushing is just trying to catch our breath and from pushing so hard. It's the contractions 100%. If there was no such thing labor and delivery would be a breeze.
The contractions. Try to find a mindset to get through the contractions. Focus on nothing but breathing. It helped me so much. I kept thinking "okay it's one minute of pain... Then it eases up" and breathe breathe breathe throughout the time you don't have a contraction and try not to think about the pain that's gonna come for that one minute you do get a contraction. Use the time that the pain is gone as time to relax and just think of your baby even though it's not much time. Once your baby is on your chest it's all gone. And so worth it.
