Moms only: Who had had very painful birthes?

Question

How could you cope? When did it hurt the most? How much (on a scale 1 to 10)??

Answer 1

first two were a breeze....... last one though OMFG
i broke the rail off the hospital bed, it felt like someone was taking a rusty knife to my insides, it was a 79 out of ten for pain, and it hurt the most nearest to the end right before baby came out.
never again......

Answer 2

I am a mum to three and would be lying to you if I said it dosen´t hurt.
I had no pain relief at all for the birth of my youngest and found that I coped well, I guess it all depends on your pain thresh hold. Your body is made to give birth and although it is painful, and the very moment that your child is born it all stops. I would say personally that it hurt the most when the baby´s head and shoulders are coming through.
One thing to remember is that it is not pain for nothing, at the end of it all you will be holding your baby. I found that breathing is excellent and I was able to control alot of the pain. So on a scal from 1 to 10 I would say 9.5.
I f you are really worried, talk to your midwife. There are many types of pain relief available to help. Good Luck xx

Answer 3

I had 3 children and all of them were painful births. Like my Dr. told me with the first child all I can say is when the pain starts grin and bare it. He was right. The best thing to do is try to stay as relaxed as possible the more worked up u get the worse it will be. Once you see that little bundle of joy u will see its all worth it. Like they say if men have to have children there would be 1 to a family because they couldnt handle the pain.For me the final stage of labor was the worse and on a scale of 1 to 10 i would say a 10+ if u have seen someone with a kidney stone the pain from that is very close to child birth. Good luck and remember just try to stay as calm as possible its worth it.

Answer 4

Sweetie labor hurts, a lot, the pain scale dosent cover it! I was yelling over and over I cant do this, and my labors, like my pregnancies were really short, first pregnancy 32 weeks and 3 hour labor, second pregnancy 21 weeks and 2 hour 15 minute labor. When labor is that short epidural is not an option. It would take them the whole time to get it set up!! By the way having small babies dosent hurt any less, the first was a touch over 4 pounds and the second was only 275gr (he didnt survive).

Answer 5

Wow I broke the bed rails too ..... so i know just what your talking about, I was in labor (induced) 38 hours. It was horible. Had alot of back labor in my back. I had a pinch siatic never so i was in so much pain anyways.

I could not use pain meds because her heart rate was too unstable. I begged them to kill me. I had toxcemia/ preeclamptic and I had sezier the last 7 hours.

They said she would be 4-5 lbs. She was born at 10 lbs 9 oz. I had a 4th degree rip, and blew open my rectal walls. They took 2 hours to rebuild me. They broke my daughters shoulder and collar bone getting her out. and she wasnt breathing by the time they got her out. Thank god she started.

When they said 10 lbs 9 oz.... i said OMG thats not a baby..... I had a full grown turkey. lol It was november 25th Thanksgiving day. so on a scale of 1-10 since I pushed for literally hours...... id have to say 2 thousand. lol

( My dr. was out of town and an intern delivered her, would not do a c-section because i was a second time mom i could handle it, and she was gonna be a small baby)

Answer 6

I didnt use epidurals with any of my 3 births, but I didnt feel like I was going to die until it was too late to get an epidural. I was begging my husband for help by the end..lol. On a scale of one to 10 , it was a 10, but only towards the end, and it was over with very quickly by that time.

Answer 7

Child birth is very painful, period. However, be thankful that today you have the option of an eqidural for pain. Don't try to be a tough girl and all brave and everything and turn it down.

I have 2 kids. The first was born when they weren't available. The second, when they were.....and it made all the difference in the world. You aren't gonna get out of it pain free.....but, it is way more tolerable with the epidural.

Also, no one ever told me this....but, when you have a baby....the pain you feel when it's time for it to make it's entrance.....feels much like it is coming out of your rear end...instead of your vagina. Sorry....don't mean to offer TMI.....but, no one had told me....and that really scared and confused me.

Good Luck....hope this helps!!! You are gonna be fine!

Answer 8

The first was bad. It was in a military hospital w/ no meds and I would say it was a 9 out of 10. I waited 14 yrs to have another one. But the second and third w/ the help of an epidural were a breeze.

Answer 9

I would give it a 7. And that was a completely natural, no painkillers, not even an asprin birth. I would recommend an epidural. (I think that's what it's called)

Answer 10

Well, I remember during two different childbirths that I stated I'd NEVER have sex again to remotely get to that point again ; ) Luckily there's some chemistry released that helps you forget the painful part.
