Mine was induce labour, I wanted natural delivery as well, but doc didn’t let me have epidural as they have to remove the heart beat monitor for baby & her heartbeat wasn’t very strong. I was having contractions for almost 12hrs 4cm dilated , when doctor told my husband that I needed emergency c-sec. Contraction pain really depends on individual pain tolerance haha , but for me was quite painful couldn’t sleep. But so long as your baby is out safe & sound , delivery method isn’t a issue to me;)
Contraction is painful but depends on individual. Best is to go see videos on breathing techniques which is useful when contractions come. Epidural is ur BFF. I fall asleep when I’m on epidural and when I wake up 2 hrs later, I’m 10cm dilated and ready to push. I don’t feel the cutting but can feel abit of the tugging during sewing. My advise is, if u are really scare of pain. Go for epidural
I gave birth without epidural because i wanted the full experience 😂 Anyway, thankfully my normal menses cramps are tolerable. So honestly, the contractions felt like my cramps but it is more frequent and more intense as time passes. I didn’t feel the cut but i only felt pain during the stitching up as my gynae removed the blood clots from womb and i was bleeding alot.
It is painful but you’ll be very relieved after the baby is out. I took epidural so I didn’t feel the contractions so much while in labour. I got to sleep for a while at least. And I had an episiotomy after; didn’t feel anything when my gynae sewed down there.
I always thought I have high tolerance on pain but contraction made me cry! luckily there is Epidural.. Life saver... So it is no painful experience.
Take epidural lah. No feeling one ok!
