Some report that their second or subsequent birth experience is less painful for them than their first, but this is not always the case. Many women find they are physically and mentally more prepared for birth the second time. Your past experiences of pain and/or birth.The position of the baby in the birth canal.There are a number of different factors that will contribute to the intensity and types of pain, including: It is impossible to predict the precise level of pain you will experience during labour. Women usually experience pain in the abdomen, groin and back during birth. Pain may be caused by several different things, including contractions of the uterus, the stretching of tissues in the birth canal, and pressure on different parts of the body as the baby is born. The different stages of labour bring different types of pain at different levels of intensity. The third stage of labour takes place after the baby is born, as you deliver the placenta and membranes. Once the cervix is fully dilated, you transition into the second stage of labour and the baby moves down the birth canal until, through a combination of contractions and pushing, the baby is born. These early labour pains will become more intense and closer together as the first stage of labour progresses.ĭuring the first stage of labour, your cervix softens, thins out, and then slowly opens (dilates). When labour begins, this pain from tightening and loosening transitions into regular contractions that feel like a stronger version of period pain and last more than thirty seconds each. You may experience pre labour pains and discomfort in your abdomen and lower back during this time. Hormones instruct ligaments in the pelvis to relax and loosen over these final weeks, and the uterus tightens. In late pregnancy, your body begins to ready itself for giving birth, leading to a number of pre labour symptoms. An understanding of the way your body works during the different stages of labour and of your options for pain relief can be very empowering. Mindset matters, so understanding that labour is a normal and healthy part of pregnancy and approaching it with a positive attitude will give you a good foundation for the birth.
