>>15293133>>15293134Pretty much this. Had 16hr labor with my oldest, and the worst pain was from the epidural needle. So because I'm a pussy, I just said 'fuck it' when I gave birth to my second. Went all natural with no meds for that one, and it was about 12hrs. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Third I had to have a C-Section because my baby boy was literally too big for me to actively birth on my own. My frame is too small. My obgyn was skeptical at first until the actual day of the c-section. Once it was all said in done, she told me it was a good call on my part as she saw that he would have gotten stuck if I had tried to birth him naturally.
So yeah, I have to say any movies you watch, they seriously over-exaggerate it. Finding a comfy position and breathing through the waves of pain was probably the worst aspect. Would I do it again? Hell yeah, I would. The pain was well worth it to me.
