How painful is first time labor I'm really scared and don't like pain and this my first baby
@parksnautimia, I pray that it is too. But either way, just know that you are strong enough and you can do it plus once it's all over your precious baby will finally be in your arms 💕
@parksnautimia, I got the epidural when I was dilated to 4 once they induced me and honestly after that I didn't feel a thing pain wise. I felt like something was "leaking" out of me and I called out to my nurse and she came to check me and at that point I was 9 1/2 dilated and she could feel my baby's head and like maybe 5 mins after that I was pushing and a total of 15 mins my baby was born. My pain didn't come until the next morning once the Motrin had wore off
Who tells you it doesn't hurt, is a liar 😂 but you can always ask for an epidural! Frankly, I found the night after birth worse than the birth itself - if you can, try meditation and positive thinking!
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.
This may be a silly question but what did your contractions feel like when they first started? Were they automatically painful in the uterus area or just uncomfortable tightening in the stomach first then got painful?
are any of you first time mommies or previous first timers considering a natural birth. meaning no pain meds?
Can someone tell me what nipple cream is the best to use? I never had this nipple pain with my first child. Ugh.
Anyone else have to get the rhogam shot at 28weeks ? This will be my second time and I am dreading it because it was so painful the first time. Can they do it without poking the belly now?
@caseyann19 I'll have to keep that in mind
