Women, how would you best describe the feeling of childbirth?

[petitedollbabee]

I know that it’s excruciatingly painful and likely indescribable, but how would you best describe it? Is it comparable to any other form of pain? And what advice would you give to a woman who is going to experience it in the next few months?

For me it was a pressure type feeling. They had this big belt monitor around my body to monitor the baby, and I was so sensitive, even that belt felt so heavy.
A contraction just felt like my whole belly had real tight pressure all around it.

I had complete natural childbirth. No drugs, no C-section. When I gave birth in 1978, the women were totally into natural birth. We did Lamaze breathing techniques. That's where you focus on something, like the number 12 on the clock on the wall, it could be an 🍎🍏 apple on a table or anything. Anyway, you just keep your eyes focused on your focal point and breathe in and out really fast until the contraction is over. Rinse and repeat.
Oh, and you have a coach person like best friend or husband and they guide you through each contraction. It's pretty cool.
But now a days because of social media they make it sound like some kind of bloody monster show. I don't like that!! No screaming blood curdleing screams, none of that.
I hope I didn't bore you with my childbirth experience.

Oh, and I pushed for two hours and everytime I pushed, he went back inside. I guess he wanted to stay in his Mommy.
So because I couldn't push him out in my own, they gave me an episiotomy. That's where they cut you a bit to make a bigger opening for the baby to come out. And they put a few stitches to close it. It beats having your entire body cut wide open. At least I think so.
I did get sick 🤢🤮 right in the beginning, but that was the only time through out my entire pregnancy.

I do remember having harsh pains in the exact place where I always got my cramps. In my left cheek all the way down my left leg. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Bring a couple of nice fresh lemons 🥭 with you, and squeeze it just a tiny bit then smell that wonderful fragrance. It kinda helps you get through it.
The best to you and your baby💐

The pain wasn't so terrible as they described it. And it's an individual thing how you will experience it. Modern medicine has many ways to help with pain without making you drowsy.

For me, the tiredness was the biggest problem. And the biggest effort is, of course, in the end, lol...

so, my advice is - keep your body in shape, eat healthy, sleep plenty. You will appreciate the additional stamina.

The pain reminds me of extreme menstrual cramps and a lot of pressure. It hurts a lot but at the same time not as bad as you might think. When it's over and the baby is out there no pain like it never happened. It's crazy and all worth I loved being pregnant! Congratulations, enjoy every moment try to sing and talk to your baby. Eat healthy and try to stay in a peaceful mental state, the baby can feel your energy and emotions.

Firstly are you going Natrual or medicated?

[petitedollbabee]

Hoping to go natural.

[CharlotteNoivern]

my best advice is trying imagining pushing a water melon out of your vagina.

[petitedollbabee]
