When did your pain / contractions hurt??

So I’m just curious, considering everyone has different pain tolerance. Was your pain during labour a gradual increase, or was it from 1 to 10 in an instant? For example me, my pain went from 2 to 8 the minute my water broke, and I was already 6cm dilated.

Gradual for me , had a 3 day labour but once water broke it definitely ramped up xx

Just to add in the weirdo: I didn’t feel anything. Was put on a monitor and told I was having contractions 2 minutes apart.

Gradual. I go in to hospital when I can’t stand the pain, like I feel like I need the gas and air to get me by the last couple of hrs. 24hr, 8hr and 27hr all gradual- my waters never break it always breaks right before head emerges or they break it for me. I’ve never had my waters broken spontaneous at home. When I go in I’m already 7-8cm and only hrs to go before I need to push, I labour at home for 3/4 of the labour, I do have a high pain tolerance I mean I re-pierced my tongue 3* myself when it half closed up 😂

Gradual with my first, very sudden with my second but that’s probably down to them breaking my waters

Gradual for me but definitely fast

Gradual for me. My water didn’t break till I started pushing

Gradual- Water broke right before transition/birth in both for me

I had no pain until about 8CM however then my labor like.. went from 0 to 100.. bc I was sleeping & last they checked I was 3CM lol I have endometriosis, so my uterus pain tolerance is top tier lol. I tried natural until I woke at 8cm SWEATING SAC & groaning!! I took the epidural in that moment & 5 hours later we delivered her lol

I remember the nurses asking me if I felt my contractions.. I didn't. I didn't feel them until 6CM dilated but even that was a 3-4 pain scale that was STILL NOT comparable to my periods! Yeaaaah bro lol

I didn’t have any more pain other than the usual during the final days of pregnancy and before labour starts I woke up at 4:30 am to go for a wee, as soon as I stepped off the bed my water broke. We got ready and drove over to hospital (20 minutes drive) and I got my first contraction - like period or IBS cramps in the car. I had about 4 - 5 of these in the first hour in hospital where they told me I’m only 1-2 cm dilated but need to stay there to be monitored due to other health reasons. By 7 am I was having a 2 minute apart contractions and at a 7 with my pain - by 10 am I was 8 cm dilated and dreading the next contraction. By 12 pm I was DONE with everything in life and at a good 11 pain wise 😂

1-10 in an hour lol
