Painful childbirth: how to cope?

If there is one thing that is difficult to manage during childbirth, it is the pain (while the daddy-to-be is comfortably sleeping while we're hurting…).

  • We all know that at the end of labor, it can be so intense that it becomes difficult to bear.
  • Know that there is no stupid question here
  • What if I couldn't do it, what if I couldn't face it…
  • Don't worry, of course, the pain can be very intense, but the medical team has a whole range of solutions to relieve you.
  • On top of the epidural, you can count on the gas mask, the plethora of positions, and the massages to help you throughout the way and have a serene birth experience.
  • So don't focus on the pain and enjoy the moment!

Today has been a day went to my appointment my contractions were 4 mins apart and so my doc says I want u to go Labor and delivery. I’m checked and put on fetal monitor 1.5 centimeters dilated they gave me a IV back home and was told to comeback if the contractions are painful. What a day! I was glad I got an ultrasound at the hospital baby is good and in position!

Same happened to me a week ago. I was contracting 1 min apart. Was given procardia, and stayed for a week. Home now as of 2 days ago, 5cm dilated and 90% effaced. One day at a time mama. We got this.

Back at the hospital. These braxton hicks contractions are very intense and painful. They have me on the monitor. If things get worse they will take me upstairs to labor and delivery.

Update: They are sending me home. They said if contractions get any worse to come back and go to the maternity ER

Yesterday I was in labor and delivery for painful contractions. I am 1cm dilated and my contractions were 3 minutes apart. The nurse told me I was in early labor but today my contractions aren’t as bad. What does this mean?

Went to labor and delivery. I'm 4cm dialated and they could feel my water sac bulging out but it hasn't broke yet. So I'm laboring at home till my water breaks or contractions get painful. Can't wait to hold my baby girl.

To the moms who’ve given birth vaginally and without any epidural or pain medication.. how was your experience? I’m due next month and I’m really nervous about it since I want to do it all naturally. I’m just curious about how the pain is and if labor or delivery was more painful? TIA!

Going naturally is the way to go! The pain yes is one like no other especially as you get further along but it really do be all worth it as you're pushing and baby comes out, all the pain goes away. I'm going natural again for my 2nd child I would say go with your 1st choice of going natural try the meds they give you through IV and if you just absolutely can't handle the pain then get the needle

So basically I was having painful contractions in the morning bcuz I was dehydrated...I slept early last night n didn't get to drink enough water as much as I usually do n ended up being at the labor & delivery for over 6 hrs...take my word ladies I know it's annoying to pee over n over again but it's better than being at the L&D for hrs literally starving.
