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?
@kaylaberg7777, was it tightening or like you had an upset stomach?
when i was put on pitocin with my first, they felt like a bad belly ache that would go off and on!
@brianna_, the first time they were about 8-6 starting out. I didn't time with my son because i just knew it was the real thing because it just wasn't stopping
How far apart were they are first? @anyae23, @kaylamoye1,
@anyae23, okay, thats how it's feeling now. Just a really tight stomach cramp with slight pain and I hope it gets worse so I can have this baby!
Tightening in the stomach only then began to come from my vagina/butt bones up to my stomach
It was bearable pain but after a few hours it started to get intense
For me mine started hurting at like 12 30AM it was literally like a bad bad period cramp at first and by 8AM the pain was like a wave would come for 15 seconds go away for like 3 mins then come back
@kaylamoye1, so yours automatically hurt down below or did it progressively turn painful? I keep having Braxton hicks that are slightly painful and it's been a year since I've been through this so I'm not sure if they could be actual contractions. It just started
Pay attention to how long they last and how far apart they are. Its like a cramp, won't be able to lay down or nothing
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.
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?
Hello moms so I have a question everyone is freaking me out about the fact that your first birth is the worst and painful 😣 is this true???
@brianna_ It was just more of a belly ache feeling with a little bit of tightness. My braxton hicks were WAY tighter than my actual contractions haha
