So DD is over 2 weeks old now. I had a really hard labor experience-- water broke first followed by 26 hours of labor. But here's my question-- pushing hurt like hell. Well, not the pushing itself, but being fully dilated. (And the progress from 9-10 cm)I really thought with an epidural it would be okay, but I was in so much pain I was almost going insane. I know I am going to have a lot of anxiety surrounding my next labor experience. I feel like no one else felt such extreme pain when fully dilated. To clarify, it was different from contraction pain. It was pressure (but not in my butt like they said-- still in my vagina.) Did anyone else feel this extreme, extreme pressure/pain?
Re: Moms who've had their babies-- ? for you
Every pregnancy, labor, delivery and recovery can be vastly different. I'd discuss your concerns and fears with your OB at your appointment if you are very worried, but also try to remember that your next experience can (and may be) very different.&nbs
So I don't have any experience with the pain. My first time around the epidural was so strong I couldn't feel anything from the waist down. This time it was just enough so that I could feel the contractions and movement, but I didn't really
