Yeah, how come nobody ever told us about that episiotomy pain??? Yowsa

I have a high threshold, due to my unbelievable ability to be injured constantly throughout my childhood. 6 broken bones, including a wrist dislocation, stitches no less than 7 times, and a severe concussion, all separate incidents I might add. Needless to say the emergency room was my home away from home. I will have to say in my experience there is no pain like a damn kidney stone.

I'm a snivelling bitch when it comes to pain - if I'm in pain then everyone else should be too Actually, I'm not that bad - if I have pain though I have no problem popping painkillers.

The worst pain I have ever had was my 2nd birth (Elsa). I had gestational diabetes so they induced me. Christ on a bike, it was intensly painful - not made any easier by the midwife who swore blind that I wasn't in labour, until my waters broke and I gave birth within 17 minutes of her saying 'I wouldn't even give you a centimetre' and a withering look - needless to say she got a round off me as they sped me to the delivery ward 'I told you I was in fuckin' labour!!'. Bitch.

Both of my labours were without painrelief (not enough time!) My first though, I was like mother earth, doing the whole breathing thing - gave birth with no bother. Second time I Screamed. The. Place. Down.

Ladies - try to avoid being induced - it sucks.

I have no problem popping pain killers myself.

I had a massive tear - the nurse was done there for ages, stitching me back up - hurt like fuck! I'd say it was actually more painful than the birth itself

She was down there that long, at one point I asked her if she were doing a cross stitch - maybe a nice cottage scene... roses around the door? She laughed... but she still fucked it up

MrsGoodnight said:

I was induced with second kid and had a panic attack in the delivery room, they couldn't get me an epidural fast enough, I was bawling and somehow my behaviour really scared them awful

the last kid was out quick. The midwife, like yours, got me the ball to sit on when I arrived at the hospital and I'm like I think he's coming out in a minute! She said "let the doctor be the judge of that" he came in, did the internal and hurried the midwife along because SHE wasn't ready he was out in 45 mins (from first contraction at home).

MrsGoodnight said:

wtf!!!
were they not able to give you a local?
I was stitched up after tearing with my last one, but I don't remember even feeling it ugh, don't even want to think about it

ZombieKitten said:

I remember an injection (it's kinda hard not to remember someone coming at your poor, mangled coochie with a needle Mind, it was nuthin' compared to the one they used to get my eggs out when I had IVF!!! ), but I don't think that it was very effective - I still felt it and it hurt!

MrsGoodnight said:

oh that sucks thank goodness it wasn't all for nothing

ZombieKitten said:

Amen to that!

Don't worry.. I'll hold it over her as she grows up... along with the expense of the IVF and bringing her up... and the severe hyperemisis that I had whilst I was pregnant... etc etc etc

MrsGoodnight said:

like that comedian said, forget her name, likes to wake her kids in the middle of the night screaming "YOU RIPPED ME TO SHREDS!!!!!" makes her feel a whole lot better

ZombieKitten said:

Love it. I'mma have to try that one!

Joan Rivers?

MrsGoodnight said:

yes!! "For years I used to wake up my daughter and say, 'Melissa you ripped me to shreds. Now go back to sleep." Joan Rivers.
