To be honest, everyone who knows me was extremely surprised that I managed it but like @cyndistar3: said when you put your mind to it, it can happen. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-natural-labor#post-252349 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 17:35:24 +0000 cyndistar3 252349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can be such a baby but when you put your mind to something like that it is amazing what you can get through. I knew what I wanted and didn't think about other options, in my head there was none. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-natural-labor#post-252332 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 16:51:19 +0000 bpcmarj 252332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a baby about being sick and muscle soreness. But, I had appendicitis and a kidnwy infection in the past, ao have delt with pain. With the kidney infection, I kept working for a week before I went to the hospital. It wasn't until I had gone a full day without standing up from the pain that I went. But, I don't think I have a high pain tolerance.</p> <p>In labor, I got in the tub and went in the zone. I vocalized the whole time using low moans. Transition was quick and was the only time I began whimpering (so unproductive). I was induced and things went really quickly. I was able to focus on the ebd result. Plus, I had a great husband and midwife to support me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-natural-labor#post-252319 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 16:40:15 +0000 Arden 252319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't given birth yet, but my Mom has a very low pain tolerance and she gave birth twice naturally.<br /> With me she said it was fairly painful and very stressful (she was in labor with me for 36 hours), but with my little sister (she had a water birth with her) she said she barely felt any pain at all and was totally relaxed during the entire thing. That labor was only 2 hours from when a contraction woke her up to baby in arms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-natural-labor#post-252316 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 16:37:13 +0000 Beyond2 252316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you consider your pain tolerance to be high? </p>
