Haven't given birth yet but was reading the thread for encouragement
. My mom has severe Endometriosis to the extent that her doctors were surprised she could conceive. Anyway she said her 3 all natural births were a piece of cake due to enduring the monthly extreme cramps that would have her doubled up on the floor, throwing up and crying for 5 days straight.
I'm surprised no one mentioned a severe burn? Maybe I'm being naive, but I managed to burn 4 of my fingers badly with a hot glue gun. I was helping a friend at college with her education homework and she slipped and I got fresh hot glue all over my hand and the sink was forever far away. That hurt so freaking bad I couldn't stop crying. The glue was still burning hot but stuck to me and I had to rip it off. I lost my fingerprints for 6 months on that hand and the only relief was freezing cold water. I had to keep my hand in a glass while I slept or the pain would wake me up. Again, I've yet to give birth but I HOPE it's not as bad as that intensity.
