hows labor?

I'm currently 34w6d. I'm sooo nervous about going into labor, or feeling the hurt feeling of labor. I'm just wondering is labor different for everyone or do they experience the same hurt, and discomfort. ima ftm, and I'm so close to my due date, I'm excited but mostly scared about the pain. How did some of your ladies labor start out and end.. I would love to hear stories :)

I actually LOVED being in labor, I mean it hurt SO bad but once I got the epidural I just slept. And there is seriously nothing better than seeing them come out and see them for the first time. I want to expierence it again so bad! I'll definitely have another in a few years.

I was terrified of the pain with my first but whenever I went into labor "mommy mode" kinda kicked in lol I did get the epidural and it relieved so much of the pain for me and I ended up having a pretty good and 13 hr labor from start to finish.

Ima ftm and all I think about is holding my baby! :) I'm 39weeks today and if he's not here by Friday I will be getting induced. But since day one of knowing I have not thought about pain. I don't wanna think about it ...and I plan on not getting an epidural. I know that whatever I go through will totally be worth it! Just try not to think about the negatives of labor and focus on the positive:) I know its gonna hurt but it will only hurt for so long and when its over you won't even remember it" good luck ladies and congrats!!

It started withy water breaking which was no big deal. Went to the hospital about an hour after i started contraction they are pretty painful but the nurse were so good they gave me something to help me sleep and with the pain. After about 4 hours they gave the epidural which was the best thing i ever had and we waited I was in labor for 14 hours but it was worth it. The pushing was great a tiny bit of pain but nothing crazy.

It will all be okay ladies!
With my first I had no idea at first I was in labor.
I thought the pizza I had eaten a few hours before had given me food poisoning cause I had to go poop so much and my belly hurt so bad.
So I waited an hour or so and it slowly became unbearable cramps. I woke everyone up and we timed them sure enough it was time!
As soon as they prepped me and i had my epi my lil guy kicked and gush my water broke!
And then it all just happens your just eager to push despite your pain.

Everyone is different. But we all feel the same pains and discomforts.
My second came so fast I hardly remember anything :)

And I can't wait to welcome my third :)
You can do more than you think! Have faith in your self's. Your body was made for this :)
