Like someone is squeezing your insides as tightly as they can. I felt like I had to poop.

And I did it all natural.

My stomach didn't get hard it was like this pain like a period cramp would start. It would start in my lower back then wrap around to my pelvic bones then it would increase and then fade away. Then it would come back stronger.

Like someone has a vice grip on the inside just turning it and turning it and turning it.

Worst pain I've ever felt! I was gonna do it all natural. My mind was dead set.. I felt those contractions and said heck with this and got the epi. I still regret it and my little guy in a month old now. It helped speed up my labor though! Before the epi I was between 1-2 cm an hour after the epi I was ready to push!
