This is a normal worry. Unfortunately no one here can tell you how painful it will be because it can be so different. I have had 2 children. Both natural with no pain meds at all (not even over the counter). The first one was not so bad but the second one was HORRIBLE. I was ready for some meds for the pain and was told no it was time to push. The best thing to do is let your doctor know how you are feeling and he/she can tell you what options you have for meds and at what stage in the labor you can take them. That way if you want to try to go med free and it gets to bad you can get some. Good luck. The pain is nothing compared to the joy you will feel when it is over

I would tell the Dr. about your sharp pains, but it could be caused by the stretching of your uterus to make room for your growing  baby. I remember feeling this way as the baby grew inside me. The feeling was kind of like a side stitch or pulling sensation. I hope this helps, but still ask your Dr. God Bless you and your baby!

i had something  the same happen to me.i was carrying my then 4 month old baby coming in the the front door of a council rented house it was a up stairs house. and at the time we were fitting new carpets so it was bare floor boards at the bottom there was a small footwell.i fell through a floor board just a small one and the weight of me and the baby really got my leg stuck in there up to the thigh.fear and shock made me get out quick my baby was fine thank god for carrier.but within minutes my leg had masses of dark bruising and hurt i toke painkillers and phoned husband to come home.he told me to go to hospital there and then but i suffered the pain then when there was lumps and the top side of my thigh went really dark i did go but it was a few days after the hospital staff was shocked and give me stronger painkillers told me to wait then go to doctors .my dad told me to go to a lawyer because the bit i fell through was really rotten and a hid en trap door .i got a lawyer but she wasn't much good so now have a new one that was 15 months ago now.it took council ages to repair the hole in floor and i had my days mixed up after having the baby.but my new lawyer says i have a good case because i took photos at the time and i still have small pea sized lumps under the skin where i hurt myself.so good luck with the case and sue the b*****D's.

it all depends! Remember a womens body is designed to fit a baby out so it should never hurt. Just make sure you use a lot of Lub and feel comfortable with who your with, so that if they are hurting you you tell them to stop!

Go to the hospital and theres no way to tell how long your labor will be but if it was your mucus plug youare definately on your way!1

My honest opinion for you is that it is going to suck for a bit.  You will have discomfort at first usually well controlled with pain medications.  You will also have to be wired shut for a few weeks (usually for about 6 weeks) where you will have to consume mostly a liquid diet.  Afterward, your muscles will be sore and tight. BUT, I PROMISE YOU, IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT IN THE END!!!!!  I have seen and been part of a few of these cases and actually had a friend who had it done about a year ago and everyone that I have asked, would do it again in a heartbeat!  Hope that this proves helpful, good luck with it!

Right up to the due date, unless she's uncomfortable with it. It certainly won't hurt the baby, and sometimes (but not in my case) it makes labor come quicker once you're nine months along.

Its normal\nbut all aches and pains should be mentioned to your doctor at your OB check ups

You can't decide it considering the birth of your first child. Don't fret, go to a doc and get it checked and all. Movement usually starts around 3 months, but it isnt necessary that you be the same as others.So, pls go to a gynaec.

More than likely it's due to the pregnancy... your baby is going to be putting on weight soon so the placenta is gonna get bigger-  causing pain in your sides, back, ect. But just to be safe I would bring it up at your next check-up

Sometimes it helps to go for a walk.  Don't go too far, though.  Some women have all their labor pains in their back.

Yes usually it hurts the woman. Be careful and gentle and take your time. If it hurts to much take a break and maybe talk about trying another time. I hope you will use protection and be responsible.

My water broke 9 days before my baby was born.  I was in the hospital in labor for 37 hrs., after reaching 1 cm.  But that first 1 cm. took almost 8 days.  \n\nI pushed for about 7 hours continuously!  I was told that it was a record: 10:20 PM until 5:17 AM.  My baby girl was stuck big time!  And, they could not do a c-section on me because I'm severely allergic to latex.  The c-sect Dr. tried his best to deliver my baby by using suction & forcepts.  Nothing worked!  Eventually, he had to let my Dr. take over while he got the c-sect room ready latex-free.  I told him that I would push my baby out myself!  So, I did, just 3 min. before he showed up to get me.  I was ripped clear up into my rectum!  She was big!  That hurt!  \n\nMy poor Dr. had just gotten off the plane from his vacation in Hawaii when I had already been in labor several hours.  Next time, by delivery was planned!  No vacation for him when I'm having a baby!  LOL  \n\nMy second childbirth only took 1 1/2 hours total.  Only took a few pushes.  Go figure!

I honestly didn't think it hurt too badly, but everybody has a different tolerance level for pain.  After a few minutes, the pain will get better because the area will go numb and you'll be used to the sensation.  Good luck!

madam,\n\n         it is advised not to have an intercourse, whether protected or unprotected, until 6 weeks after a normal delivery, as the female genital tract takes that much time to recover from changed during pregnancy and labor.\n\n during delivery there will be lot of blood clots inside the uterus, everything of them is difficult to remove by any doctor, and which will come down by their own.\n\nby having an intercourse, u forced them to come down..\n\nthat's it.\n\ndon't be panic, i advice not to repeat it. take rest, consult doctor if necessary.\n\nall the best
