Is vaginal birth painful?

In my experience contractions are hell! But if you get the epidural which I recommend you don’t feel anything when pushing the doctor will advise you when to push. I believe that postpartum is a pain in the butt literally. Postpartum hurt me the most due to tear and uncomfortable to use the bathroom.

I had an epidural and didn’t feel anything. I think the after birth/healing was the worst part. But like I said I had an epidural!

I got an epidural after they started pitocin. I didn’t feel the birth at all. jus in my face from pushing. lol. and was only a little sore for a couple days after.

No I had such a easy delivery pushed less than 2 minutes

It hurts but it’s not to the extreme like they make it look in movies well for me anyway (no epidural here) I went all natural for both.

I honestly didn't think I'd make it through it

Nope I’ve done both natural and epidural I didn’t feel any pain either time.

I used gas and air although I did opt for an epidural but by the time they came to do it I’d already got to 8cm in an hour. It did hurt but was tolerable. I was more focused on finally getting to meet my little man and I’d have gone through the pain again if I could feel the way I did when he was put on my chest and I looked into his eyes.x

Yep and then hope you don’t tear all the way down to your booty hole or in my case...the other direction! Yup you can tear there too!

Of course no pain no gain ! But it’s do-able just keep focused listen to your body and go with the flow x

Yes lol

For me my first didnt hurt i got the epidural my second was HELLLLLLLL the epidural didnt work my contractions were ALL strong. My 3rd my contractions were stong for an hour then got the epidural i didn't tear with any. I was up and walking 20 mins after birth with all 3.

not with an epidural 😂

I got my epidural at 9.5cm (not knowing I was that far) and felt everything...if this was my first child I wouldn't have had anymore!

Depends on your pain tolerance.

Well it doesn't feel good 🤔 the pain is only for a short time and theres sooo much going on you'll be focused on your baby 😊

Yes
