I have had 2 natural, spontanious, very quick vaginal births.......... They hurt, there is no getting past that, but it is the most worth while pain in the world..............The amount of pain is veriable, it deponds on the woman, ( how she handles pain) the type of labour (ie, fast, slow,babies back to mums back/ frount to back, (the back to back is ment to be more painful) and size of the baby)
both my girls were natural births, with no intervention,no drugs,i tore with both and both times I went into labour at home, 1st baby 3 hrs, second under an hour, and both hurt like hell. The pain from the contractions goes as soon as the placenta is delivered, but I felt sore down there for 5 weeks, mainly because both times I had 2nd degree tear's, but to be honest with you there is no way to tell some one what it feels like, because the feelings, the pain and the emotions associated with giving birth get all mixed up, so although I know it hurt a lot, both of my girls birthdays were filled with too much joy to remember the real pain.
