The only thing I can think of is the post birth blues, where you feel like nothing is okay, and like it's all too much.  You feel like that litle person has taken away a beloved part of your life.  It is normal, and hormonal, and does go away.  Before birth, I don't know, I would ask your doctor if it is normal, or if you should be concerned.  I have heard of it, so it must be farely well known.

I have had a c-section and was not out at the time, I was a little paniced at the time but I was perfectly fine once it started.  \n\nI think you can ask the doctor to put you out, tell him how you think you will might freak out during it and he might do it for you. \n\nI hope you dont, its a really nice thing to see your baby when it is first born.\n\nYou might try asking him for a seditive to help calm you before he does anything.  It shouldn't hurt the baby at all.\n\nDont worry, when you have the C-section you WILL NOT be able to feel a thing.  You will feel a little presser but NO pain.

I am not saying this to be funny, but if you can handle it, sex. Semen actually thins the lining of the cervix. Have sex, eat pepperoni pizza and walk, walk, walk. Woke up in labor twice after that.

Hmm i'd get another opinion but it sounds to me as though your baby may just be ready to enter the world. Labour pains feel much like period cramps just much weaker. Try some tradiotnal forms of dilating including intercourse. If youre worried seek more advice but im sure you and baby are just fine...good luck...

Kidney stones cause extremely bad pain- they say it's the closest pain to being pregnant. You'd get lower backaches too.\nStomach pains caused by depression make you feel like throwing up.\nConstipation... you fart a lot and it feels like a gas in your lower abdomen.

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

Absolutely. With a normal pregnancy, you can keep doing it right up until your water breaks. Do check with your doctor or midwife first if you've been treated for premature labor or if you're having any problems with your pregnancy, such as a shortened or dilated cervix, leaking amniotic fluid, placenta previa, or bleeding, or if you have a history of miscarriages. There are some instances when you should avoid having sex.\n\nBut as long as your pregnancy is normal, you won't hurt the baby by making love, even with your partner on top. The thick mucus plug that seals the cervix helps guard against infection. The amniotic sac and the strong muscles of the uterus also protect your baby. Though your baby may thrash around a bit after orgasm, it's because of your pounding heart, not because he knows what's happening or feels pain. \n\nWill it feel as good?\nEven better for some women, not as good for others. Increased blood flow to the pelvic area can cause engorgement of the genitals and heighten the sensation. But the same engorgement gives other women an uncomfortable feeling of fullness after intercourse ends. Also, some women may have abdominal cramps during or after intercourse. Your breasts may become enlarged and can be more tender, which can cause discomfort when they're fondled. You may have more vaginal discharge or moistness, which can make sex either more pleasurable or can result in some vaginal irritation. If you notice a sudden change in the amount of vaginal discharge or a foul or unusual odor, check with your practitioner. You could have a vaginal infection or your bag of waters may have broken. When your water breaks, you may feel a slow leak rather than a gush of fluid all at once.

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!

During the menstural cycle the body becomes very sesitive to pain due to hormonal influences, hence the sore breasts for some and the terrible pain of abdominal cramps.\nThe cramps themselves are due to the contration of the smooth muscle tissue of the uterus. Smooth muscle is the type of muscle that you have no control over. The uterus contracts during the cycle in order to get rid of the unfertilised ovum (egg) and the linning of the uterine wall (which would have housed the fertilised egg). Its just like giving birth to an unfertilised egg.\n\nIn order to reduce the pain you can either use pain killers which will block the pain receptors in the brain so that although their are contractions your body is not responding to them, or otherwise you can stop the contractions by using medication that will relax the smooth muscle tissue eg buscopan. It is worthy of note that relaxing the muscles of the uterus during mensturation may likely increase the amount of bleeding although you will be pain-free.

It really depends on where on your body the stitches are. Stitches after childbirth are very uncomfortable for the first few weeks, but don't necessarilly hurt while they are being administered because of any drugs given during labour and your body's natural painkillers kicking in. If your question specifically relates to childbirth, there are various pieces of equipment available to alleviate discomfort and your doctor or midwife will be able to advise you.

True labor contractions can be timed. The cycle of a contraction starts mild, gets more intense, gets mild and then you get a rest from the discomfort (until they are very close together).  Gas pains do not have an ability to be timed.  They will hit without rhyme or reason.

This is referred to as a prolapsed uterus. Symptoms include a feeling of fullness or pressure in your pelvis (you may describe it as a feeling of sitting on a small ball), low back pain, feeling that something is coming out of your vagina, painful intercourse, difficulty with urination or moving your bowels, and difficulty walking.

Had mine done on a Friday and was at work on Monday\n\nDrove myself home afterwards\n\nPretty painful for a few days...uncomfortable for about 2 weeks and then gradually forgot about it.\n\nAs a father of 4 who has witnessed all of them being born it seems a little pathetic to complain about the pain (but it wasn't nice!)

I think it's best not to have preconceptions of child birth because what happens will happen and at the time all you will care about is meeting your child for the first time.  Pain is usually a worry when you don't know what is causing it or how to fix it.  In childbirth, you know there will be pain but you know why you are getting it and you also know that it will go away.  Once you look into your newborn's eyes you won't care a bit about how you feel.

Ive had 7 kids...6 of them natural. The pain you feel is going to be unique to you. If you have a high pain threshold then it probably wont be that bad. If you have a low pain threshold..just remember you can always get medicine if you want. I have a high pain threshold..I slept thru one of my labors! My sister(the wimp) has a VERY low pain threshold..but even she didnt think labor was "that bad" I think it also has alot to do with how well prepared mentally you are for labor.
