Stupid question..

[Ceebump]

Obv the contractions are painful
What about the labour bit hurts is it the feeling of the head coming out or can u feel baby coming down .. What does it feel like?

 

[becciboo26]

The pressure is intense! No-one can really describe labour pain effectively but it really does feel like your trying to poo a watermelon! I don't really remember exactly what the head coming out felt like cos I had pushed for almost two hours and was so tired I was in and out of consciousness, they had to cut me :/ x

The best way to describe it is it feels like you really need a poo, a really big one lol. The pushing feeling is unbelievably strong and can be overwhelming at time,s, the crowing was the most painful for me, I felt gradual streaching, then an immense burning for a few secs then sweet relief whwn the head was out. After that the rest slips out painlessly xx

My contractions were like 30 seconds apart (if that) for 5 hours, crazily intense!!

Its amazing how much you actually forget, I know it hurt but I can't accurately describe how it hurt

I remember to start with its just like really dull achey period pains but then it turned into an annoying sharp aching pain and then once they were coming every 30 secs I can't remember the pain but know it hurt.

The head coming out was by far the most painful part, It felt like somebody had a lighter to my bits lol I remember shouting "it's burning"

It can't be that bad, I cannot wait to do it again, I LOVED being in labour and giving birth, best and most amazing experience anybody could ever go through

The contractios until i was 10 cms were a killer and it was like a poo that wouldnt come out..
Once i hit 10 cms the contractions came less often but it was time to push.
After 2 hrs i had to be cut but it was relief to have baby come out xxx

Thanks ladies
Just curious after watching obem ..
Made me think .. And watchin each womans reactions ect just wondered about any if your experiences .. Mom said she cant remember much apart from painful contractions lol
I guess noone can prepare you as everyones diff xx

 

[Ceebump]

I just dread if i get told i have to have a c section .. I cant wait to give birth tho

 

[Froslass]

Dont worry Hun, you'll be fine.

If you do need a section, you'll be at the stage where all you'll care about is baby's safety x

 

[Mrsstuart01]

You go into a little bubble during it and within a few days have forgotten. Think it's an instinctive way of you protecting yourself. WhTever happens you'll be fine. If you imagine the worst it's not that bad!! I was told after pushing for almost 2 hours I'd need either forceps or a section (which was my worst nightmare) and by then I just wanted baby out so I didn't care!! Xx

 

[Loula]

i totally forgot it as soon as it was over x

Not a stupid question at all - I had no idea what it would feel like. The contractions during the pushing stage were unbelievably strong and painful, although not quite the kind of pain I was expecting. I never asked for any pain relief because I never felt like I couldn't cope with it. It really does feel like the most enormous poo of your life. I pushed a few times whilst sitting on the loo and it was really similar, although of course much more painful. I couldn't get LO round the 'bend', so she spent a long time in the birth canal, which left me very sore afterwards, and my tail bone ached for days. Crowning was like a stinging sensation, during which the MW poured warm water over my lady bits. I think it's not as bad as some people say, but I had a small baby, a quick labour, a home birth and a very relaxed and lovely experience, so it's not the same for everyone. I am sure it could be a LOT more painful than my experience, but it's nothing to be afraid of. Good luck and enjoy it! xxx

In all honesty I didn't find the pushing part that hard ad I didn't think it was as painful as I thought. The contractions where the worst for me . Xxx

 

[Esperanza84]

The contractions are painful, and in one way, I thought they were the worst, because I was told not to push (but I really wanted to), so I just had to lie there doing nothing. On the other hand, when I was allowed to push, my first thought was: I don't want to do this, this hurts. But than I just snapped out of it and did everything my mw told me to and than I got to meet my little girl! It felt like I was tearing a lot, but I didn't

 

[Ceebump]

Thanks girlies xxx

I remember feeling baby coming down and I remember the feeling of burning when I tore but then he came out so quick he nearly slipped across the floor......I was on a labour seat bit like a toilet seat with a hole in the front...

I would say as well stay as active as possible it lessened the pain for me x x x
