Question about labor pain during my first pregnancy?

Q: I need some honest answers on how painful labor/contractions really are? I mean there are 3 stages of labor and the second and third are most intense and painful, however some women say it’s not that intense if i can practice breathing or bend/lay in certain positions that way the pain is controlled some. Others say the labor is most painful for them to go through. Few of my friends say i have been reading too many pregnancy books which try to scare us about how the pain is and each gori detail in there. I just want to ask that with an epidural, is that really a pain reliever if the Dr’s do an episiotemy.cesarian, or anything? Can I get the epidural as soon as I am entering 2nd stage of labor? I am just asking? How many of you can honestly tell me what labor pain is like whether its back pain or abdominal? This is my first pregnancy and knowing something from real people/cases may help me. I do want to add that in my case my cervixis posterior. that’s what my Dr. told me when she did my pap smear, and that was anyway uncomfortable for them to touch and clamp all at once since it was in that back position. Knowing this what are my chances for a quick or long delivery time?

A: Contractions feel like strong period cramps and start feeling really uncomfortable as they get stronger and believe me they get really stronger and soooooo uncomfortable, I was given the option of using gas but that didn’t help me that just made me feel like i was sufforcating when i used it they then gave me demerol to help with the contraction pain but they only give it to you up until a certain point, i wanted an epidural but i asked for it to late, when the head goes down more your on your own to bear the pain, Once the babies head drops down that’s when the pain really hits, imagine having a ring of fire around your vagina, that’s exactly what it will feel like to push through. sometimes they will tell you not to push when you really really feel like you need to, you have to push like you are going number 2, once the baby does come out the pain does go away but you still have to deliver the placenta. It’s all worth it in the end, but yes the pain cannot be described all i could say is if you are going natural expect a ring of fire to be there, my sister came to watch and she was pregnant at the time well I guess she got really scared cause i was screaming and everything looked to painful she wanted her doctor to give her a c-section, but then again after my baby was born i had complications i started bleeding internally so i think that is what scared her… It’s different for everyone though but everyone does push through that damn ring of fire ouch!!!! Good luck…. the healing after it does hurt to go pee for a few weeks but after a vaginal delivery you are out of the hospital quicker, I had a c-section with my second child because she was going to be to big (born 9 pounds 15 ounces) which I didn’t think was that bad but the healing after does take longer and i did start getting back problems after getting a spinal. I’m pregnant with my third and i already know i am having a c-section again because my doctor said she knows this one will be another big baby my first one was 8 pounds 15 ounces and I just don’t want to go through vaginal birth again after my experience. I know some women that had an easy birth so every has their stories. Congrats and Good Luck to you!

Q: basically the last week i’ve been experiencing different things, i never saw a ‘bloody show’ but i have had a lot more discharge than any other time during my pregnancy. is it possible that it gradually came out? and if it didnt does it really have to come 2 weeks before i go into labor? at my last doctors appt. he said i didnt drop and that my cervix was completely closed, but everywhere i go when ppl see me they say ‘omg you dropped’ and i keep getting pains in the tendons at the highest point of my thigh (you know right by your vagina) and its almost like i can feel my vagina muscles spreading. does this mean im dialating? i feel a lot of pressure in my lower abdomen and pelvis and lower back pain but no abdominal cramps, do i have to have cramps to be in labor? i keep getting what feels like charlie horses in my upper thighs and tush and lower back. and shes been moving like shes trying to break outta there lol. so if anyone could give me their opinion on how long………………they think its gonna be let me know please 🙂

A: I know what you mean about the pains in your thighs and crotch! Sometimes during my last month when I would sit down a pain would shoot from my crotch to my throat! It’s very painful. Sometimes your just walking along happily and aahhh – through the top of your thigh, down to your knee and up to your stomach, it makes you feel like your going to fall down. Most all of my cramps and pain were in my lower back throughout my pregnancy. Everything you say happened to me and I was so discouraged when I would go to the Dr. and he would say “0% efaced, 0% dialated”. I thought “what does he know” he can’t feel this and never will! I was soooo excited when at 38 weeks I finally had a weekly check-up with 70% efaced and dialated to a 2. Now, this all came quick, within just one week. The week before I was nothing so I was sure the baby was coming that night!!! I mean, how can you go from 0 and 0 to 70 and 2 in one week and not have the baby right away???? Guess what… I saw the Dr. the next week and my stats were STILL the same 70 and 2. Very upsetting, as well as painful trying to sit down carefully. I never saw my mucus plug (bloody show) I’m not sure it happens for everyone. My little girl was a fighter also, I was sure she was breaking out of there. Every single day for my entire last 3 weeks I swore it was “the day”. My daughter was born 1 day early and I knew the difference between the painful shots through the thighs and crotch and the actual contractions. Pretty soon you’ll be able to answer a question like this and think sweetly back to the pains your having now. Just remember this….it is the most amazing thing you will ever do in your life, when she comes, the pain is for real and you will know, but it is so quickly forgotten.
