contractions?

For all the ladies who have had kids what do they feel like? Are contractions really as bad as some people make it out to be?

Back labor is horrible! Imagine ur muscles are a rubber band .... some 10yr old boys are sitting there every couple min stretching them til almost break then releasing. Best analogy I can come up with. I like the grandma one!

Yes, with my first son I went natural that's means I felt everyone with my second son they were so bad and I had an epidural and still considered jumping from the third floor LOL! But it all was worth it.

My grandma told me.. "when u feel like your going to die, its almost over" lol but she was talking about the pushing not the contractions.

It depends on how high ur pain tolerance is. Or if its back labor or hip labor. Its really different for everyone. I'm not gonna lie it felt like a car was driving through my back when I had my daughter. But I had back labor the whole time. The position of the baby determins the pain
