Labour experiences

Hi mummies, anyone can explain to me at which stage is the most painful and unbearable without using the epidural? Contractions, delivery or the stitching part? And how to prevent myself from pooping during labour😅 I don’t wanna like embarrassed myself. And I’m a ftm so I’m a little anxious.

Pain threshold depends on individual. I was already 4-5cm dilated with contractions every 5mins and decided to take the epidural as soon as I arrived in the delivery suite cause I was scared of pain 😅 I was shivering very badly soon after (one of the side effects of epidural) but managed to get some sleep. Didn’t feel anything when Doc broke my waterbag. Was in labour for 8hrs and the epidural was stopped so I will feel contractions to push baby out. Felt no pain down there even during episiotomy. Thankfully didn’t poop throughout.
