  • Have you talked to your mom about the pain? Not all pain is created equally. Yeah, it hurts. But there are ways to manage the pain. And it only hirts during contractions. I was in labor for 28 hours with both of my children. However, it wasn't constant. You get breaks. And oxytocin rushing through the body is a natural pain killer. Your body was designed to endure the pain. The problem is that women tend to fight the pain or surpress it. You need to give in and let the natural functions take over. It isn't unlike an intense orgasm. That line between pleasure and pain slowly diminishes.

    It is understandable to be scared of the pain. But remember that it isn't the kind of pain that comes with suffering. For some, sure, but we are strong. We were made to do this.
