The worst period cramps you’ve ever had, multiplied as high and you can imagine. Mixed with the pressure of a watermelon trying to burst through your crotch, also while your stomach and intestines are being squeezed and twisted.

It starts off bearable, but eventually the pain and pressure consumes you.

Eventually pushing actually helps because it’s gives you a little control and you know you’re making progress towards it all being over with.

The height of contractions is worse than the pain of pushing a baby out.

My epidural didn’t work with my second.
