This is my first pregnancy  and I'm 22weeks and 5days and was wondering how bad does it hurt when you go into labor that's the only thing I'm nervous about.

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.

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
