How painful is labor?

Yes, labor pains are painful. But there are things you can do to help ease the pain and make the labor an easier process, for both mother and baby.

The more stressed and tensed up the mother is, the harder the labor can be on mother and baby.

Labor is a completely natural process which should not be feared. Many women who are prepared for labor and birth and do not fear the process or the pain report feeling no pain or at least no unmanageable pain. Your body feels pain to help you know what to do, it is an evolutionary response. Imagine our ancestors out in the fields or forests or where ever. If you just went into labor and the baby fell out you would have no time to prepare or get to a safe place. Our bodies tell us when it is time to get ready for the baby. The pains intensify to a point where your instinct is to push to get the pain out. Without this, we would not know when to push, we would not know when the baby is ready. The use of modern pain medication in childbirth makes many women more comfortable with the process. However, there is much research suggesting that medical intervention often prolongs labor and puts mother and baby at increased risk for complications. It is wise to do your research well before your baby is expected and decide which method of childbirth is right for you. Ultimately, no matter the opinion of others, including medical professionals, your labor should be your own. You must do what you feel most comfortable with after thoroughly researching all options. Best of luck!
