Introduction to the pain level of normal childbirth

When giving birth, women usually choose natural birth, which is very helpful for the fetus. Women are also afraid of natural birth, mainly because it is painful. Therefore, many women don’t know how painful it is. So how painful is natural birth? The following introduction will give you some understanding of this type of pain so that women can understand it before giving birth.

How painful is the pain of childbirth?

1. Pain that does not attract attention, such as insect bites.

2. Pain that is just noticed, such as pain after anesthesia and preparation for surgery.

3. Very weak pain, cut by a knife.

4. Weak pain, like being slapped in the face.

5. Mild pain, such as bumping into a door or being pinched by a door.

6. Moderate pain, such as gastroenteritis and stomach pain caused by unclean food.

7. Severe pain, as if being beaten with a stick.

8. Severe pain, such as dysmenorrhea in women.

9. Very severe pain, such as pain in the neck, shoulder, waist, legs, and neuralgia.

10. Severe pain, such as a cut finger.

11. Extremely severe pain, such as appendicitis pain and other visceral pain.

12. Unbearable pain, such as pain during childbirth.

However, there is no corresponding scientific research basis for the above. So, how painful is it for a pregnant woman to give birth? This is still a question that varies from person to person. Generally speaking, during the delivery process, pregnant women experience mild uterine contractions at first, just like uterine cramps during menstruation. The intensity of the pain gradually increases during the first stage of labor until the end of delivery. Overall, first-time mothers experience significantly more pain during childbirth than repeat mothers. Many pregnant women also reported that in terms of the intensity of the pain they experienced, biliary colic caused by gallstones was much more severe than labor pain. Of course, as a man, talking about women's pain during childbirth always feels a bit blind. Everyone's sensitivity to pain, tolerance, and descriptive terms are different, so we can only talk about and describe it from a medical perspective.

After understanding the pain of normal childbirth, women should also be careful not to be afraid of pain during childbirth, as this will have an impact on the fetus. Childbirth must be carried out safely, which will be of great help to the childbirth itself. In addition, any abnormal physical conditions during childbirth need to be reported in a timely manner.
