Labor Pains

Labor Pain Expert

Dear Dr Camann

I had very bad labor pains during my first pregnancy I had them for about 72 hours They were about 7 minutes apart and I was not dilated at the beginning of these labor pains I waited the whole weekend until Monday when I couldn't take it any longer I was also a week past due During the last 48 hours I could not lay down or sit down Finally my doctor allowed me to come into the hospital and I was 1 centimeter dilated First he sedated me so that I could get some sleep When I awoke he then broke my water and induced me

I am really nervous about a second pregnancy Is there anything that could be done for the pain while in labor Are there any medications/pain relievers that are safe to take

Thanks

Robin

pelvic pressure and pain

Labor Pain Expert

I have been having a lot of pelvic pressure like stretching and the sensation that I need to urinate especially when I am standing or walking Is that normal I have also had a lot of cramping down low and tightening on the top of my stomach I didn't thin or dialate with my first child but this one seems to be quite a bit larger and am wondering if my body could be doing what it is supposed to this time
