The pain is intense but honestly after its over an ur holding ur lil one u forget all about it. My oldest I was in labor for 4 days induced because of high blood pressure. My second came super fast I didn't even know I was in labor till my water broke by the time I got to the hospital I was a 9. My 3rd I chose to be induced at 39 weeks an I was in labor 12 hours an I pushed for like 5 min an he was here. He is only 21 months old. So I understand being worried about the pain I am to. The best thing to do is remember the happy outcome u will have an to try an stay calm an relaxed during labor an breathe. If u need to u can ask for iv meds or an epidural. Alot of women do. I did with my 1st.

I can't fathom having your condition and going through this and alone to boot. Just the pregnancy and hormones give us uncertainty. You do have a lot on your plate. The pain is great, But you have to think of the pay off which is your baby. Seing him holding him kissing him. No longer being alone. If you have to, get the epideral. My menstrual has always been painful. I'm used to it. If you arn't you may not be able to withstand the pain. Pray and have faith you wont hemridge. You will be ik cause your baby needs you. Good luck.
