How much does a natural birth actually hurt, dear ladies? Is it tolerable and when does it actually hurt? All the time or from time to time it relieves you a little and then the pain again? When the birth of the baby begins, does it come out quickly? I am very afraid of this moment. Probably many women are afraid, but I often think about it and I am quite scared. And the last question - where is the pain itself?

Go to a specialist to explain exactly what happens during childbirth. Second, if you're a little smarter, take an obstetrics textbook and read there. The pain is the result of the compression of the nerve plexus of the cervix by the child's head, which stimulates the contractions themselves. This period of childbirth (cervical enlargement is more painful than the expulsion of the fetus. Otherwise, there are women who have given birth in their sleep without understanding, it is individual, but it depends a lot on the woman's psyche :)
Every woman has a different pain threshold, and every woman's birth is different - for some it is significantly more painful than for others. Personally, it hurts terribly, but I'm not dead. The other girl in the antenatal room slept most of the time, not in pain at all. I felt the contractions low in my stomach. At the very beginning, they started from the waist, as before menstruation. It hurts while you get a revelation. The actual birth lasts no more than half an hour and you do not feel pain at all.
It hurts like menstruation. Every woman has a different birth, for some it is very easy and fast.
Better with a section - the natural is more risky. Sometimes it hurts until you lose consciousness and the birth is over 24 hours.
