My third baby was natural childbirth (for the first time) and I was not prepared for how much it hurt.
I felt that my body was being split in two from the inside and yes, I screamed and cried. I couldn't help it.
They say that being educated about birth takes the fear out of the experience but that's not true. I read the best books out there on having a natural birth and tips for relaxing and coping with pain. I felt very confident, but after transitioning in labor, it was so intense I felt totally helpless and wracked with pain. All of the "coping" techniques that helped earlier failed me now. I breathed and pushed like they told me but nothing seemed to work and the pain was almost unbearable.
I am pregnant with my 4th and a "little" apprehensive about going through that again, although I am committed to a drug-free birth and so is my husband (even though the last experience really unsettled him!).
The only things that helped me were a hot tub and being able to change positions during the transition and pushing phases.
I had been on my hands and knees for a while trying to push my daughter out and was in excruciating pain. My midwife moved me to the birthing stool. As soon as I squatted, my baby dropped into the birth canal and crowned soon after. I was in terrible pain until my daughter was fully born, even though I had found the right position to birth in.
It's key to have good labor support. I totally recommend a midwife!

It was your first baby- give yourself a break. The next time around you will know more of what to expect. There are many ways to ease pain- massages etc. and you have plenty of time to research before then.
But, sorry to tell you, you may still scream the second time around and the third...
Every birth is different and everyone deals with birth in a different way. If you need to scream- then go ahead and scream!
Good Luck Sweetie and Congrats on your new bundle of Joy!

You might want to go to a dairy farm (though bring a mask - the smell's pretty powerful!) My wife sometimes would grip my hand, or go make a sound while pushing, but no screaming per se for any of our three kids.... BTW - screaming is not in Genesis 3.16 - it's "pain" which is "greatly increased". The problem that your thesis has (with "scream" as a proxy for "pain", which is a poor correlation, BTW...) with the text is that it's very easy to see that there would be pain even prior to the fall, since after the fall pain is greatly increased; there has to be pain in childbirth *already* in order for pain to increase, otherwise the text would say "you will NOW have pain during child birth (when there was none before)". to the answerer prior to me: While I agree that Intelligent Design is sketchy, your examples of useless items such as the appendix and tonsils are poor examples. In scientific literature, the appendix is now considered to be how the intestines re-populate the digestive tract with friendly bacteria after you've had diarrhea. From a "water extraction from feces" point of view (one of the main functions of intestinal bacteria in the large intestine), when you've just had dehydrating diarrhea without the convenience of running water, that seems pretty important to me. Tonsils are actually lymph nodes that are vital to fighting infection as part of the lymphatic system. Lymph nodes are where white blood cells go to get cleaned themselves after fighting bacterial invaders. Sometimes, due to a high rate of infection, the tonsils have some many dead white blood cells and other matter that they swell considerably. While tonsils were removed in the past, there is a re-visitation of this course of action in the current literature.

My sister in law screamed really really loudly for her first baby. I felt so bad that i could do nothing to help her out.Her husband was stupid enough to tell her to quiet it down because she was too loud. I think that if she had enough strength that she would have killed him on the spot. well a few months ago she had another baby. she ended up having a water birth. it really helped her with the pain and she was able to relax more.

Isnt it funny how we go through all this pain and them want to do it again? My first daughter was born in 15 minutes of hard labor. ( three contractions ) and the third one i cried but was too busy pushing to scream at anyone. But if it had of been longer im sure i would have. It HURTS!!!! So go ahead.. if it helps you.... as for easing the pain.. ask for meds.

Yes, if it helps. I tried to go natural even with pitocin and I thought I was going to just die, I tried everything I learned, breathing, rocking, swaying, but nothing dulled the pain so I just cried and moaned. Ya do what works and then you scream for the epidural.

my first pregnancy was natural and i was screaming at the top of my lungs, the pain was unbearable. For my second pregnancy (6 weeks ago) i used epidural 12 hours into my labor and wondered why i didn't do it sooner.
