Girls how painful was childbirth for you?

I’m due Aug 7 and I’m wondering how bad it is in comparison to when you don’t have and do have an epidural. How much pain relief during an epidural?

Extremely painful. To the point I was screaming, crying, panicking and telling the midwives to do something or give me a c-section. I had an epidural and it removed 100% of the pain. Literally felt no pain at all and didn’t even know when I had a contraction I just saw them on the monitor. The epidural stopped working after like 2 hours though. They gave me more but it did nothing. It was just suddenly as if I had not gotten it at all (which is apparently not typical, just unfortunate for me lol and likely due to the epidural catheter being pulled slightly from the correct placement). If you’re thinking about getting an epidural I say do it, it’s so worth the pain relief.

I’m def getting an epidural.

Congratulations, here's what I can tell you. My wife planned on going without an epidural and she changed her mind pretty damn quick. As far as pain level I can tell that it helped tremendously.

My ex wife wanted natural child birth until the last few hours before and asked for the epidural. She has a pretty high tolerance for pain.

First one was hell for my wife the second one she had a planned c section and it was a better experience

I'm a guy, so I'll NEVER know, but scientific research says there is ONLY ONE thing MORE painful than childbirth.

Giving 'birth' to a kidneystone!

I have had a kidney stone and that hurt so bad.
