What does giving birth feel like?

Answer by  WelcomingNewLife (144)

Depending on your pain management, giving birth can feel very different for different people. For instance, a woman who has an epidural will likely feel much less pain, and a good deal of pressure whereas a person who does not have/use pain medication will feel passing excrutiating pain that generally is forgotten when holding the baby for the first time.

It depends on the woman. Some describe a tearing or burning sensation, or something like a a migraine in the stomach, while others experience fairly minor discomfort.

Early labor feels like intense menstrual cramps. They gradually become more frequent, longer, and more intense. Pushing a baby out feels like having a very large bowel movement.

During the process of giving birth your body goes through many changes. It starts with your cervix thinning out and you having mild to strong stomach cramps caused by contracations.
