I had a funny moment with my first. I was up late watching t.v. and my water broke so I went to go wake up my husband to tell him and this is what he said while half asleep: "ok, I'll clean it up later just dont step on the glass." It took him a while to figure out that my water had broke. LOL

Besides having to be introduced to an uncle and cousin of my husbands that I have never met before while I was having serious contractions? My labor was very smooth. The worst part was the stupid IV port on my wrist( for fluids and petocin). For some reason that was all I could think about.
As far as the actual labor is concerned the most painful thing that I didn't know about beforehand was the surface pain. For some reason I thought the pain would be more of an inner vaginal pain, but it wasn't. It was the outer skin. But the whole process was my proudest moment yet!!

The hardest thing for me in my first pregnancy wasn't the physical pain, really. My husband was away at basic training and missed the birth and that was the hardest part. The worst pain was recovering from an ER c-section after being left in labor for almost 30 hours.

I would tell you but I was in so much pain my brain shut down and I forgot most of it. I have a high pain tolerance so I didnt peep till I was 8 centimeters. The last thing I remember..The nurse who just came on shift came in and basically said I was a wussy and had 14 more hours to go. I lost my mind and decided to go home thinking it would "go away" if i "wasnt really in labor", but my water broke, otherwise I would have given birth in a van in rush hour.

The whole thing....LOL...Well, they were in the process of discharging me when my water broke. My epidural wore off twice. The second time, I was pushing and I could feel it wearing off. I have a bad pain in my right leg (Might be a pinched nerve but no way to tell) and the way my daughter was sitting was putting pressure on that nerve. I just wanted her off my leg. I think I would've been fine otherwise.

I would have to say the hardest thing was when my daughter was sliding down my back and that's when it got me. I remember the doctor to tell me to count to 10 and keep pushing and it was all a blur after that. It took me 45 minutes and she came out. I did it without any medicine in my body.

the dry mouth from the Pitocin and the drugged out of my mind feeling from the Stadol (the doctor did not tell me stadol was only a muscle relaxer, not a pain medicine) and the torture of contractions--baby #3
delivering at home and being scared to death she would not be ok until the ambulance got there and told us she was fine--baby#2
pain, pain, and more pain from contractions--Demerol didn't help with the pain--baby#1
why do we keep doing this?!?!?!
because we love those sweet little baby smiles!

pooping uncontrollably, the tearing and the pain, but the worst was I couldn't catch my breath. First baby took 18 hours after water broke.

do no longer hassle related to the pooping - no longer each and every woman does it, and there is no longer something you're able to do in case you do. docs do no longer care. :) An epidural hurts slightly moving into, yet no longer something significant. The worst area is which you will desire to lie nonetheless and on your back for it to paintings ideal. additionally, the injection could make you nauseas and you should puke - yet that would not ensue to actual everyone. which may additionally ensue from hard paintings, so in simple terms be arranged. as quickly as you're numbed up, you will sense numb from the component of the epidural down. in case you should push while you're nonetheless numb, it is going to likely be slightly puzzling, yet you in simple terms could desire to faux you're pushing out something else (like that poop you're terrified of). the toddler will come. do no longer hassle. in case you do no longer choose an epidural, you could take different drugs, yet all of them have some component consequences. i could be arranged and understand what to anticipate from all of them - or in simple terms bypass without, yet you could properly be apologetic approximately that one. hard paintings and delivery isn't relaxing. think of hard paintings as being like menstrual cramps situations 4. I dealt with 40 hours, somewhat plenty without drugs. It hurts. plenty. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it is not the worst soreness which you could think of. A migraine is plenty worse for me. solid luck!

I would have to say the contractions, once I started pushing I was fine.
The worst thing after labor... when they put the catheter in. I cried then, I didn't cry when I was in labor.
