Yes!!!!! I have IBS/ Lactose intolerance. The day I went into labor I thought it was just cramps from eating a bowl of lucky charms 😁 I got to the hospital 5 cms dilated thinking it was just stomach cramps…… hahaaa😅

My doula said it’s good to look at contractions and laboring as temporary!! Just keep telling yourself there’s an end goal. I hope that is accurate😃 cause yeah when you get period cramps they could last the whole week lol

As a high pain tolerance girlie with real bad periods and a unmedicated birth it really wasn’t that bad 😅

As someone who can TOTALLY relate to this having endometriosis, this is something I’ve been wondering for the last 9 months. I’ve been confident about labor because I’ve experienced the worst of the worst. So I feel like I’ll be able to handle it. And yes, it’s pain with purpose!!! I’m due on Thursday so let’s see what happens 🤞

Marie De Leon :
See? Thats what i am questioning my doctors and they say it gets bad but like if my period cramps go as bad as me fainting it cant be that bad as delivering a baby. Thank you for this!!!🥰

A Dale :
That makes total sense. I did unmedicated births, and it was way more painful than terrible menstrual cramps and gallbladder attacks! But, it was a productive pain like you said.

Fun fact labour is one of the only experiences that has a positive feedback loop in our brain.

I gave birth 2 weeks ago unintentionally at home unmedicated. Baby girl was not waiting 😂 and I can vouch for this! If you get bad stomach pains, you can totally get through labor pains!

Christina :
Hey so you definitely have endometriosis. If the pain comes back with your periods I’d recommend reaching out to an endometriosis excision specialist. I had my surgery over a year ago and it’s changed my life ❤️

I've heard it takes longer to push the baby out when you get the epidural. Was that your experience?? Just a curious wanna-be-mom asking!

So my periods weren’t super bad and I never felt that kind of pain fr, but I’ve had awful acid reflux my whole life. When people talked about how bad acid reflux was during pregnancy, I guess I didn’t consider it, but now being 34 weeks pregnant I realized that me dealing with it my whole life prepared me for pregnancy bc it doesn’t even bother me.
