great post....I have a high sensitivity to pain, and supposedly a "sensitive uterus" I am nto sure if that means ti cries at commercials and sends oprah birthday cards, but i have a feeling it means i feel pain there more than usual. a pap kills me, when i was first pregnant and the uterus started to expand/body shifted i was in agony...etc. I feel eveyr little thing. i think i am feeling the baby move a bit now (i am 16 weeks) but its just sharp stabbing pain. doc said it's just my uterus. that bitch.

so i think Ill take the epidural route.

great to hear everyones opinions, though. i have a clsoe friend who is all natural and she had a difficult first labor, and her second baby recently popped out in under 5 hours! lucky her. if it was that fast i migt not bother wiht the epi either! A lot fo it s your state of mind way before it starts happening.

so here si a question....whats worse, labor of a 2nd degree burn? so far the time I burned my whole upper arm 2nd borderline 3rd degree was the worst pain Ive ever felt....anyone happen to know how ti compares?
