Like bad cramps? I gave birth yesterday. I would compare labor pains to being flayed alive, slowly, in a burning car that is being crushed into a little ball. Does that explain it fully enough to you? I got there to late for drugs, so anyone that gives birth naturally has my complete and utter respect, I am showing up early if I ever do this again, drugs must be better.

I have 3 kids and none of them with epidural
3 very hard and painful and difficult labor and birthing experiences,
the mysterious feeling of seeing them not as a part of me anymore,
but the most horrid and seemingly unending time of my female life
was the hell of puerperium,
labor comes and goes away,
but then one has the perineal pain that lasts for 15 days
the breastfeeding pain that lasts for as long as one endures
(and no idea it would be that way, at least the first time)
and that little wonderful cute baby
that cries when one is desperate for some rest
but that kind of love is unconditional

Sure contraction are like bad menstrual cramps…bad (I’ll take death versus these) menstrual cramps you’ll never experience until giving birth!

Well now you’ve scared me. My period pain makes me cry, vomit, and stay off work for days.

riiiiiiight…they are like period cramps if your crams feel like something is simultaneously trying to rip your uterus out and giving your lower half electro-shock therapy.

Wow, seriously — I did Hypnobirthing and didn’t feel a thing. I walked in and no one believed I was in labor.

Childbirth is totally different for everyone, and so are menstrual cramps. I can believe that the shit I’ve been through is as bad as some people’s contractions. People who haven’t had such bad period pains just don’t get it.

Still, I look on it as a chance to have practised dealing with such major pain before my first baby’s birth this May! :-)

I know it all depends on the woman.
My roommate is almost 9 months and is constantly having contractions. Her back is always hurting and she’s a bitch for no reason other than the pain.

And frankly I think thats an ugly baby with a giant head.
