    Mommas, its gonna be just fine( if you want to go natural) . I urge y'all to watch relaxation videos...the ones that are labor/delivery specific. Watch them over and over until you feel confident with yourself. During the progression of labor, stay in a comfy position. Listen to music, concentrate on your breathing, and close your eyes. When it time to push, set you mind on your contraction, listen to your body and push when the pressure comes. Relax between contractions. You can keep your eyes close if it makes you feel more relaxed. If you feel, at any time, like your falling into panic mode try to think about the result. Its only for a time and with a few more pushed baby will be in your arms. What also helped me was watching home births. I watch how these women worked through the pain and discomfort with the help of their midwives. I used their technique to help me through my delivery. I kind of blocked out my husband and the room filled with nurses and two doctors. It helped me to relax and concentrate on my body and my baby. 😌😌🙂

    Why the heck did the algorithm recommend this to me?! I have cervical cancer and I need a total hysterectomy. I’m so sad. I don’t have kids, and I guess I never will have natural kids now. To all the moms out there that have been through labor, Gd bless you. I wish I could count myself amongst your ranks, but unfortunately, it seems that Gd has dealt me other cards. Bless you all. To all pregnant ladies out there who are afraid of the pain, just think of people like me who would give anything to be in your place. Safe deliveries to you all 🙏❤️

    I was in utter agony when I was 2cm. The pain didn't get worse I just had shorter breaks between contractions until there were none at all. They tried to send me home. It was agony and more agony. My pain was not believed. It went on for many many hours. I have never felt so helpless, I just couldn't make anyone believe me. I was told to be quiet repeatedly because I was screaming after 4 hours of this... I thought we were both going to die. Then I started bleeding large clots. I was emergency transferred for a c-section. I ended up giving birth vaginally in theatre. I no longer had a sense of being in my own body by this time. My mind just couldn't cope anymore and I wasn't present anymore. Like an observer. I pushed and tore and felt nothing but a slippery sensation when she came out. I thought my baby was dead and I was to follow, and I had accepted that because at least it was over... I have never recovered from the PTSD that followed. Now I'm having a baby 6 years later. If a midwife tells me my pain scale is wrong, she's fucking fired immediately. Believe women.

    I think using the words “pain” and “hurt” is what actually hurts pregnant women. I’m a dentist and even in dentistry we are taught the power of our words. Told not to use “hurt”, “pain”,”needles”, “blood”, “you may hear breaking” etc- instead you say “pressure”,”intense”, “uncomfortable”, “injection”, “feel a little pinch”, “heme”.”you may hear sounds” and tell them all is ok and normal to experience. If a patient comes in freaking out about the needle or work, I promise you we will have a difficult time numbing them. The brain literally overrides the physiological numbing because they are in heightened awareness, fight or flight. Their brain is saying “pay attention!!!! Protect us!!!”. The same happened in birth. If you’re panicking and saying this is going to “hurt” on a scale of 1-10? You’ll be anticipating that 10. Our minds are as important if not more so in the perception of experiences. I had a non epidural, pitocin induced birth and I cannot lie that was crazy intense- because we forced the baby out. In comparison, i didn’t even realize I was in labor until 2 hours before my son was born. I barely made it to the hospital and walked myself from the car to the third floor and pushed my son out all within 27 minutes of pulling into hospital parking lot. I was not screaming, I was not freaking out. I shuffled quietly in just worried we weren’t even going to make it. They wanted me to fill paperwork out I was so calm 🤣🤣🤣 because they had no idea how close to delivery I was until I dropped the pad to the floor to deal with a contraction. They wheeled me into closest room and I told them I’m pushing and That was that. Birth is not scary. Get your mind around the fact this is the most intuitive and natural thing you’ll ever do and get out of your body’s way. Don’t worry about the pain scale. Time your contractions and once you can’t talk through them anymore and you have to get focused and quiet- head to the hospital

    I don’t mean to say anything negative, but the way women talk about labor is so nice. They use words like “intense” and “uncomfortable”.... labor is severely painful. Also, dilation doesn’t equate to how much pain you’re in. You can be in extreme pain and only be only 3cm. So I’m glad she straight up said that labor is painful. It is. And I’m glad she talked about control, because you can very easily start to feel out of control. I found myself holding my breath and also hyperventilating because the pain was so extreme. You need a plan for that. I’m glad she was so real about this.

    My doctor recommended an epidural for my first baby. I tried going natural but he was a large baby and he was facing up. Not breech but face to the sky. His shoulders did become stuck and I majorly hemorrhaged after he was born. Honestly epidural and all I FELT so much pain in that birth. My next two births were wonderful and easy. But to this day I do not regret having an epidural for my first born. I think I would have gone into shock or fainted from that birth if I hadn't had one.

    The idea of having kids has always been there. The reason I stumbled upon this video is that I'm trying to make sense of how painful it REALLY is to give birth. I have a high pain threshold but the whole process scares me. I have endured a lot of physical pain in my life but I guess childbirth pain isn't easy to explain. I would like to have a kid before 33-34 (I'm 28 now).

When nurse ran in and I got to push it was 3 pushed and baby was out. I was in a tub and immediately got up with the baby on my chest and walked to bed. The pain stoped as soon as baby was out. I felt so energetic. My labour over all lasted 3 and half hours and the nurse had no idea how the baby came out so fast. Never got the epidural because I wasent "far enough" and "baby is not gonna be here for atleast another 10 hours"

    I've had five kids. Four natural and one emergency c section. With all five, the afterbirth (placenta) was the most painful and uncomfortable. I think in my mind, I am always thinking after the baby is out it's going to be less painful and then my body almost goes into a painful shock and remember that the pain part is not really over and still need to pass the placenta. Luckily all of mine came out within seconds of the baby. It was actually in me the longest with the c section. lol.

It only hurt in the last like 4 hours and the last half an hour was the worst and morphine and a bunch of other stuff didn’t help. I was signing for an epidural right as it changed to back labor pain and had to push. There was only like 15 second breaks where I would pass out from all the medications and come back to for a couple minutes straight of contractions.

    Jessica Michelle to explain exactly how epidural feels, after they administer to you on the back of your spine the anesthesia, your whole abdomen is numbed out to your thighs, there’s just little effort of pushing out and you don’t actually feel the “birthing pain” you would feel the baby coming out but you won’t feel any intensity at all.. but once the anesthesia fades away, that’s when the post-labor/delivery pains occurs, as if the epidural only covers the pains during the delivery time but eventually gets you after. It hurts like hell. This is based on my experience though so I’m sharing it. But yeah, it’s still up to you how you prefer your childbirth 😊😊😊

    Oh please it is nowhere near surgery without anesthesia. It's probably not even the worst pain you can experience. I would compare it to a really bad headache that nails you down to bed and makes you disabled to do anything but think about the pain. The problem with labor is that in the midst of all that pain you have to be composed and highly cooperative, and perform one of the most demanding tasks of your life.

    That's your experience, I have walked on broken bones after breaking 9 mostly in legs feet and ankles, I had my jaw broken, been stabbed, also 2nd-degree burns from scalding, nothing I repeat NOTHING I have been through is more painful than labour. I would rather have every bone in my body broken than go through 10mins of contractions it was like being tortured in hell the pain was so bad I thought I would die just from the pain that I really wanted to die to just escape the ongoing unbearable torture but it just goes on and on and on until you start to lose your mind, thrashing, vomiting, convulsing, screaming, ripping hair out and banging head violently against the floor you can not pick yourself up from as every nerve in my body is screaming at me as if I was burning in the fiery pits of hell. It was like somebody had thrust big metal hooks through my skin hooking around my lower spine, the front of the pelvis and each side of my hips and during contractions, it felt as if somebody had attached ropes to the hooks and tied those ropes to horses and while the contraction was happening it felt like those horses we being whipped to pull those ropes ripping my spine out of my back while ripping my hips apart with my pelvis. It was like my thigh bones, spine, hips, pelvic bones we being broken over and over and over for hours on end. On top of that was also a feeling as if somebody was thrusting 12-inch kitchen knives into my vagina every 30 seconds for 3 days along with insane cramping pain that felt likey uterus was trying to eat all my organs, my entire abdominal area felt like I had drunk acid and my insides were melting, I couldn't breathe, speak, see, hear or even understand words my world was just pain, I was nothing but pure misery and pain. I would have happily given or done anything to make it stop I did not even care if I or my baby died as long as the pain stopped. The fear, PTSD and shock lead to me becoming suicidal, some women seem to get off lightly and some women it is like living through 3 days of hell from which you will never mentally recover from the trauma of how horrific, terrifying and unbearably painful birth can be for some. Count yourself as lucky.

    katie fanning oh my word. That’s sounds horrific. I’m so sorry you went through that. Did you not have access to pain medication? Or did it not work? Are you in therapy now for ptsd? I know there are women who need professional help to deal with birth trauma. Again I’m so sorry. I feel incredibly lucky to have had such a positive experience, myself. I spent my entire pregnancy mentally preparing myself for labor and getting into the necessary mindset for natural birth. I had a midwife who was very supportive and she helped me to not only have belief in myself and my ability to birth my baby, but she instilled in me such a belief in my own body. My body was made for this! From her and also from a very educational childbirth class my husband and I attended, I learned many great coping mechanisms and pain management techniques that proved to be very helpful for me in labor. The use of water (I had a water birth), breathing, focal points, hip squeezes, etc were amazing tools that helped me so much. I also went into the experience with the knowledge and true belief that the pain is not because something is wrong, but rather the pain is an indicator that my body is functioning properly and doing exactly what it needs to be doing. Every contraction was one step closer to meeting my baby, and that could only be perceived as a positive thing in my mind. Your mind is a very powerful thing! I honestly and truly believe that mindset is everything! I’m telling you all this because I want to give you hope that, if you ever have more children, your next experience doesn’t have to be like your first! With the correct education, as much knowledge as you can pack into your brain, an attentive and supportive healthcare provider, and a positive mindset - childbirth can be a positive experience. That’s what I hope for you next time (if there is a next time). All the best, and take care of yourself ❤️

    Surgery without anaesthesia is a very extreme comparison and in no way similar. That is a very unfair and scary comparison and not very nice for women who are scared to go through this. Yes it will be painful, but surgery without anaesthesia is the kind of pain that puts people into shock. People have recorded their accounts of it from Victorian times, and also more recently from rare instances where people have woken up under the knife, and been paralysed and unable to convey to the surgeons that they can feel everything. These are horror stories that, as far as I know, no one has ever compared to labour. These are life ruining events causing severe ptsd in sufferers. To make the comparison to labour is not a fair comparison, and will only cause terrible anxiety in women who are already nervous. Let's speak some words of comfort - just to put the surgery comparison in perspective... Things women have said they think hurt worse than labour: -Bad migraines -Severe tooth ache -Broken Bones -Appendicitis Just to name a few. I would rather break a bone than undergo surgery without anaesthesia. Please don't scare women with such comparisons. There is a reason that doctors allow women to undergo childbirth completely naturally, and why when they have to cut you, for any reason, they numb you first - that's not an option. The reason is because the pain of slicing through a person's flesh is highly traumatic no matter what; where as childbirth, while intense, is a more natural pain that varies from person to person

    When i first hit labour i thought it was reaaally bad pain but then as it progressed i realised that wasnt the worst of it and controlled my pain alot more with my husband and midwives massaging my lower back where i got my pains from. The only reason why most women including myself act like its the worst pain in the beginning is because they dont know what labours like well for me it was like that. i didnt know what i was to experience once i realised it slowly got worse i knew i freaked out in the beginning for no reason. but then again i had to have episiotomy/foreceps so i dont know that feeling of actually pushing my baby out myself. I pushed for 2 hours with no urge to push and just when they were taking me for surgery i had the pushing urge that i couldnt stop. Im 36w5d now with my second im jsut scared about the pain of pushing the baby out myself they say the pain is like a ring of fire , when the placenta is being delivered & if i need stitches when they end up stitching me :/

    My first time around i took it like a champ until I'm pretty sure i was in transition after 20sum hours. I would have been alright had I had constant support. I shoulda hired a doula
