Pregnancy Info HOME

You will know when you are in labour. My feet were even more swollen than usual, and then when the contractions started let me tell you. They resemble my worst mentrual cramps which come in waves. Then when you are in active labor they almost feel as if they don't stop. I am in no way trying to scare you. But I remember how scared I was with my first and no one could tell me what it felt like or what it was similar to. I hope this didn't frighten you but that it helps. As far as the Tylenol, it wont phase you if your on Tylenol and the contractions start. Don't be afraid of the epidural though, don't try to be a billy bad a__s and refuse it. Just make sure that while on the epidural you can still feel your contractions enough to know when to push. The epidural should just be used to take the edge off the pain not to totally numb you to it. Good luck!
