Honestly words can not describe the pain you go through ... This is as close as I can get... The human body can endour 45 units of pain and during labor you go through 57 units of pain....it's equivalent to fracturing 20 bones in your body at a time

My contractions felt kind of like numbing pain in my back. I couldn't really talk or move through them and just like paralyzed. The epidural was heaven when I got it. I have heard that front labor is better than back labor but not entirely sure since I've only had one baby. Hope that gives a little insight.

Well I know everyone is different but I just wanna know, sometimes it feels like my baby is pushing really hard against my belly, and my belly gets really hard and pushed out, then it just softens up, I get pain in my lower pack that comes and goes, its a pain that's almost numb.. And I get these weird feels like the baby is pushing down into my cervix. First baby lol. I'm 25 weeks 1 day
