In the hospital already! Eeek! I'm 39weeks 5 days, FTM. Went in at 7ish AM and I was 3cm (I thought I was still at 0 as the pain was tolerable though the contractions were regular). About 3 hours later jumped to 5cm. I have a high pain tolerance and would've asked for the epidural a bit later on but decided to have it then and there... Haven't had any sleep since Thursday morning (Downton Abbey marathon😅) and must save energy for when the pushing comes. Now at 6cm! So excited to meet the little man!!! ☺️☺️☺️
I have a low tolerance of pain so I’m screwed either way 😂 but I am going to get through a natural birth no matter what!
Quick question: Are the contractions or pushing the most painful?
I’ve felt contractions with my first and omg. But I didn’t experience the pushing. He was way to tiny.






Got to the hospital at 4 am to start my pitocin, well.. I was put on the drip at 430 am , and was 4cm dilated and 80 percent effaced, an hour later. The nurse came in to check me, hours later, and I was at 6 cm. I got the epidural at 6cm.. But it didn't work for me, no more than 20 minutes later, I couldn't take the pain, I was screaming and crying.. And felt everything.. most terrible pain ever, I called for my nurse to come in and she checked me again, said I was ready to deliver, babys head ...
I'm terrified for labor 😓😓 I have no pain tolerance what so ever! & I just keep thinking of the process ! Oh my goodness. 😣
Right Ladies, I'm thinking of getting a tattoo done on my thigh! My question to you all if you have had one done there, is how bad was the pain? And take into consideration, I don't have a very high pain tolerance 😂😭 xx
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
bonne chance 😉😉😉
