Who has been through this already? They say the pain is unbearable? What should I prepare for?

Yesterday I thought it was a coincidence, and today it happened again. They say the body purifies it…

They say it's painful without an epidural, I went through that hell.
Although a girl was lying next to me, it was much easier for her. When they gave her the spinal anesthesia, she said she even managed to sleep. I didn't notice any difference after the anesthesia, only that I couldn't feel my perineum.
So, it's different for everyone

After a vertical C-section, I had an IV through my entire abdomen. To make matters worse, our hospital ran out of painkillers, so they administered it slowly, "live," a few hours after the C-section. It was horrific. It was so painful that the next time I got pregnant, I chose to induce labor myself, and in comparison, the oxytocin was easy and simple.

Don't worry about it now. When the time comes, you'll understand why you're preparing yourself in advance. Everyone is different and has a different pain threshold. For example, in my first pregnancy, I had contractions for two days with a one-day break in between. The first day they started, we went to the maternity hospital, but they said they were practice contractions. I refused hospitalization and went home. The next day, they subsided a bit, but the day after that, they were really picking up, though I still found them manageable. In the end, I arrived at the maternity hospital with 8cm dilation 😃 and gave birth in about 2.5 hours.

My mom gave birth with oxytocin and said it was unbearably painful, but she delivered me relatively quickly, in just under 4 hours, so for her, it's not a terrible memory.
They gave me some towards the end, right before pushing. It wasn't pleasant, but after an incorrectly administered epidural (or my reaction to it, as the anesthesiologist said), I honestly didn't care anymore; I just wanted to give birth faster and see my son.

And by the way, I was scared of all those accelerations for some reason... and I gave birth on my due date 🤣 probably out of fear 🤣

Did they skimp on the epidural?

How is it unbearable? You see, everyone has endured it and gone for the next one. Everything is bearable

It's bearable, but it's much easier without it, of course.

During my contractions, I was given an IV drip with oxytocin.
My contractions were already painful, so I didn't even notice the IV drip or the reaction to it.
Everything happened quickly for me; I gave birth in about 3 hours, with strong contractions starting right away.
I had a very good obstetrician who helped me ease my contractions.
