It ***** honestly. But who said labor was easy? When u really start contracting it's like you can't breathe, don't wanna talk, you just wanna focus on getting thru that 60 seconds. I also planned on a natural birth. Went 9 hours and gave up. I was so exhausted I was literally falling asleep in between contractions. I also had back labor and it was very intense. I only progressed a cm and a half during that 9 hours and was very frustrated and discouraged. After the epi it allowed my body and my muscles to relax and went from a 4 and a half to a 9 in an hour. Lol.
Lol sorry but u need to be prepare my sister used to tell me oh its gonna be the worse pain u will ever feel so be prepare to feel like ur gonna pass out lol. And it did helped bcz I knew what to expect.
I had to get an epidural I didn't wanted to so I tried my best not to but I regret it not getting it since my contractions started to hurt
lol well thats intimidating haha
Oh it hurts! ! Don't mean to scare u but I need to be prepare for the worst pain.
I had my girl a month ago and It was soo painful. But remember it is all worth it at the end trust me once u have that little baby in ur arms u won't regret a thing. Good luck!!
I am only 24 weeks 6 days so i am not sure myself, i have been curious of this for a while now. My Best friend who had her baby girl last year said that the contractions were awful, felt like she couldn't catch her breathe, but major relief came when they gave her the epidural, she said and i quote " its the first and the last time you will get sleep for a while, so TAKE IT" lol anyone have better insight than that please share as i am also very curious
