I have not had a personal experience but I get to talk to lots of new moms as I work in health care.  Every birth is different and your made for this.  My best friend said it was like bad ministration pains for labor.  When she gave birth they did a small cut , she tore a small amount too.  She described it as a burning sensation that didn't last long because that was when he came out.  After that it was all wonderful holding her little guy.  I hope that helps you, it gives me courage I can do this.

Every labor and pregnancy is different. I always tell people not to little to all the crazy horror stories. For me the pain of the contractions was bearable but the worst part was them just coming over and over. You will do a terrific job. Don't stress it will come fast and will be over before you know it
