Is it true that contractions during pregnancy don't hurt any more than your worst cramp during your period?

Question

Thats what my religion teacher told me and I was wondering if it was true.

Answer 1

It is good to question someone's expertise when they try to cover areas outside the one they are stated to be experts on.

Hmmm. Has your religion teacher had any babies?

I have always had horrible cramps during my periods. That said, nothing in life that I've ever experienced was as uncomfortable as end-stage labor contractions. I especially remember the ones accompanying the baby ex utero, all eight pounds six ounces of her, as excruciating.

Every woman's experience, with each baby, tends to be different.

Answer 2

NO NO NO NO if this is your first baby the pain is something you never felt before do let people scare you its bad but not all that bad when everything is said and done your going to be like i could of handled that a little better the most thing that is going to get you really bad is your nearves thats the worst part becasue on top of the pain you have a million things running throw your head but the only thing that will help you is just relax and try to stay calm not easy but try it out it will help

Answer 3

Apparently your religion teacher has never had a baby. Take that worse period cramp and magnify it by about 100...that should give you a better idea about what a contraction feels like

Answer 4

Well that may have been how it was for your religion teacher, but as for me and as for most women I would take your worst period cramp and times that by a hundred. That should give you an idea of how it would feel.

Answer 5

i replaced into 29w5d and that i began out having gentle contractions they could come 5-8 Min's aside and a few could be 2-3 Min's aside.it sounds like fairly undesirable era cramps yet u could have extra then 4 an afternoon.

Answer 6

Contractions during early labor don't hurt to bad but once you've hit active labor the pain will be intense and excruciating!!!! Trust me I have survived one labor and are about to take that journey again in 19 weeks!!!! so your teacher is full of Bologna!!!!

Answer 7

Maybe that was her experience, but not for most women I know. My contractions during labor were hellish and long lasting and frequent. But once it's over, it's over. It was worth every second of pain - I have a great kid!!

Answer 8

is ur religion teacher a man or a woman? If a woman then has she EVER had a child of her own? I doubt it very seriously. The pics u see of her so called kids arnt hers! If they were she wouldnt be talking lies in a religion class

Answer 9

Its not always the same for everybody.....and some people have a different tolerence for pain. Mine, however, were way worse than any menstral cramps.....have you ever had menstral that took your breath away or made you brace yourself??

Answer 10

yeah right- if that was the case people would just take Tylenol instead of epidurals. A huge needle in the back ain't no picnic but it sure beats labor!
