Is this yr 1st pregnancy?
hi ain, when the time comes, nothing else matters... just focus on pushing the lil one out. My lil out came decides to pop 4 days before my EDD. went thru natural delivery without epi. everything happened so fast. but during delivery it feels like a lifetime. 
i wish u all the best.
p/s: hubby's arm was full of scratch marks after delivery. =p

it feels like a lifetime... i had a few drops of blood in the morning and i called up the hospi to ask if i need to be admited. they checked with my gynae and told me to come immediately. i took my own sweet time to get ready while hubby kan cheong! hahaha! no contractions felt till i was in the car. my waterbag didnt burst. i still wasnt fully dilated when i reach hospi. my gynae come check check den go for lunch 1st. (-_-"') i was so determined not to get epi but once the contractions started getting closer... i ask for epi, den ask whether can do c-sect den ask what other options can i get... hahaha! but honestly, i'm glad i manage to go thru everything according to birth plan.

How does the contraction actually feels like?? I know many describe as mensus cramp but 1000x more painful. Is it bearable?? Which part do u feel the most intense?? Your back? Lower abdominal or the whole tummy??
I would really hope to have a fast labour like u guys.. Im trying to be as active as i could.

Contractions feel like bad cramp, and it comes in interval....
I had sudden crampy feeling one week before birth, by then I was 2cm dilated.. so gynae advise will be that period of time.... then few days before, cramp got worse, but bearable.... it just comes and go... eventually I was worried so I went to hospital...
Induced around 9plus and then gave birth ard 5plus. I think I won't survive the contraction if my husband wasn't determined enough too..he kept pressing the gas mask on me, and also due to the leg jab(?), I slip in and out of sleep... this power nap saved me cos partly I didnt really feel the pain, and I still have the strength to push when it's time! Less than 5mins of pushing and baby was out!

Contraction is like having bad mensus cramp. But it's will comes & goes...still bearable for me coz maybe i normally have bad mensus cramp every month before pregnant. After each pain then get yourself ready for next pain. So, i guess be mentally prepared for the pain. It becomes more closer and pain. I was holding my sister's hand and press very hard when every pain comes while my husband drive us to hospital. Her hand become "black green" after that.
Was dilated 4 cm when reached hospital. After about 30 mins it's almost 9 cm already and sent to labour ward prepared for labour. With 3 pushes, my daughter came out. I think doctor checked for dilation from 37 weeks by fingers into your vaginal. A bit uncomfortable but it's very fast.

Hi AIN
I believe when the time comes, everything will take place naturally. For me , when I was pregnant w my 1st child, I was like u terrified of labor.. Didn't know wat contraction pain is like, shld I take pain relieve, will i b able to handle the pain,how's waterbag bursting like ... So on n so forth lol!!! too many things to think of la.. Hehehe.. But I was adamant not to take epi since I've hrd lots of the after effect of it..
So to cut short, my 1st labour was v long. I had contractions at midnight n have to tahan till 6pm the following day b4 they wheeled me to labour suite. The pain was unbearable so I tried using the laughing gas but it doesn't wrk for me so I pushed it aside n just focus on breathing .. Finally gave birth at 935pm 21 hrs of labour
And years later, I gave birth to my 2nd and 3rd too w/o any pain relief n naturally.. I just focused on my breathing and to take in the pain when contractions come n blow it away as it's gone
But every birthing story is diff.. So just do wat u think u feel ur body needs ..stay positive n support frm hubby is really crucial : )
Wish u all the best k
