I barely felt the pain of her coming out because, for me at least, it was so minor compared to the contractions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-had-a-pudendal-nerve-block#post-13610 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 20:48:48 +0000 mommytobee 13610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One month until my due date; we just spent three night in a row at the hospital, between pre-natal classes and visit of the maternity ward...</p> <p>My biggest fear about labor is not the contractions... It's the pain of pushing the baby out of me and tearing.</p> <p>I am going to try and have my baby as naturally as possible, as long as it doesn't affect my baby negatively. But, if the pain of pushing becomes unmanageable, I just learned today about pudendal nerve blocks, which seems like the perfect pharmalogical pain relief for me, should I need to go there.</p> <p>Has anyone had that? Did it work? Any side effects that you didn't like? Tell me everything! </p>
