Be Honest. how painful was your labour?

Recently all I seem to hear is people telling me how painful labour is and that its the worst pain you could every experience.
Im not doubting thats the case, but Im just curious how other mamas feel about their labour experiences.
It would be nice to hear someone say something positive about their labour experience, rather than how horrible it was lol.

my first was horrible. no time for meds.

my second was delightful. that epi is the shit. lol

my labor was pretty painful before the epi, but t was heaven after i got it. my gall attacks from having gallstones were more painful than the labor that i experienced.

It's pure hell.

Have fun  

LoL sorry, I have no posivite feedback for you. It was the worst pain I have ever felt.

I even tried to quit in the middle of pushing and get away from the doctor. I gave up lol

Mine.. sucked.. Sorry, im sure it woulda been better if i wasnt on pictocin. But..The epi didnt work... 24 hours, almost completely drug free (they gave me sleeping stuff so i could sleep a couple of hours... the sleeping stuff... HEAVEN)

Pshhh, my labor didn't hurt at all. The only thing that hurt me was when he head was crowning. As soon as I got her head out nothing hurt. No, it did NOT have any drugs; epi, NOTHING .

So easy, and it didn't hurt at all. Mind you I was induced and had to epi before I had to feel contractions. lol.

I didnt get an epidural. After my water broke up until I gave birth (less than two hours) it was more intense I would say than painful. It is painful, but in a very different way than I expected, almost in a good way if that makes any sense at all. I am totally going drug free next time. It wasnt bad at all. Overall I woul

Contractions dont feel good, but not too bad. Then I got the epi. man that was AMAZING! I could push kids out all day with the epi. Its after that wears off and you are recovering when the pain is bad

Sorry five month old likes to psh buttons. I would say a 7 on a scale of 1-10.

I haven't given birth yet as this is my first baby. But my mom said she's rather go through natural birth than get another tattoo on her stretch marks.. She gave natural birth to all three of us kids.

Active labor remains the worst pain I have ever felt in my life.

Thank you Mr. Epidural man.

mine wasnt actually that painful   i'd happily do it again lol

Honestly...I went all natural and my labor was not as painful as I expected to be. Thinking back about it, it was almost like it wasn't painful at all... Just super annoying when I couldn't push when I really wanted to! My contractions were just like painful menstral cramps, and I always had painful menstral cramps, so contractions were bearable for me. I personal feel like having hemorrhoids is more painful than giving birth!
