Wow your whole section of arm? That is terrible. I had a small second degree burn and labor was so much different (in a worse way) but so different it is difficult to compare to skin burns. I have no idea how painful having such a large section of skin burnt must have felt!

Your skin hurts when you are pushing the baby thru your vagina. Otherwise, it's mainly very intense cramping sensations and possible back pain.

You'll do fine tho. I mean, if it hurts you, own your pain and don't let anyone try to tell you that it doesn't hurt. And if it isn't so bad, well be grateful for small blessings.

You're doing a great thing, giving birth to your little one. :woman
