I'm sorry you have to deal with high...Oh Sarah. I'm sorry you have to deal with high amounts of pain every month. I totally agree with you about "pain threshold". I KNOW I could NOT have done a natural birth if my labor pains were worse (or lasted longer than they did). I hope nobody thinks you're a sissy because you want relief from your pain (I sure don't think that). I wish, for your sake, (and sometimes mine) that they had a monthy epidural... your should connect with a doctor and work something out! Good Luck this week.Carliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848943321521667015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257794824985986010.post-84763168022218807032012-08-13T15:57:09.624-06:002012-08-13T15:57:09.624-06:00I agree! Or you hear, "but when I did *blank*...I agree! Or you hear, "but when I did *blank* it hurt more than YOU could ever imagined" pain is pain. Its not called pain because it is pleasant. Can't we accept that everyone is different? If I can minimize pain, I will. :-)Mrs.Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045722279191642919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257794824985986010.post-20000813177174842042012-08-13T14:35:04.328-06:002012-08-13T14:35:04.328-06:00my deepest condolences dear friend. one of my clo...my deepest condolences dear friend. one of my closest friends growing up was like you and she would have to miss days of school each month. me? i never get cramps. it's always just a severe backache that extends to my butt and upper legs. for a day or two it's bad enough that standing or walking for more than two minutes is so terribly impossible BUT i wouldn't ever trade places with you (sorry friend!) because i'm pretty positive yours is a sharper more difficult pain. <br /><br />my pet peeve along those lines is when girls will think that all morning sickness is the same. ummm no it's not so don't even act like you were as sick as me and i won't act like i was as sick as my friend that kept getting hospitalized for throwing up blood and losing 20 lbs off of her already underweight body!<br /><br />and i'm with you... i really don't like pain. which is ironic because i'm somewhat considering a natural birth this time around. last time my epidural didn't kick in til i was already at a ten and having an IV in the back of my hand for 36 hours while i was attempting to nurse or sleep or do anything was so uncomfortable in that "will it ever end?!" sort of way... but really, who knows. i'm not 100% sold on the idea of going natural. but holy crap i never in my lifetime thought i would consider it like i am now. the only reason for that is because my last birth is fast and i'm familiar with what i'll be facing this time around. because unlike so many other people, i realize that my labor experience is only understood by ME and not comparable. because how can you compare something like that?! ps- i'll have to send you a link or post about this insane birth story i read. you would love/hate it! <br /><br />ps- was my rant as long as yours?!<br />Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429409718992186257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257794824985986010.post-78841203966939754162012-08-13T11:10:40.939-06:002012-08-13T11:10:40.939-06:00I am sorry you are in such pain. I know what you ...I am sorry you are in such pain. I know what you mean about an epidural. I always plan to have it, in fact they should make it a call-in order when you are on your way to the hospital, because that will for sure be the first thing I do when I get the hospital with our future children. I did it with the twins and I plan on always using it. It bothers me when people give me grief for getting it, especially men who have NO idea. I don't care what they think, it is my body and if the medical technology has taken us that far to not feel pain during labor, sign me up.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673538817339864071noreply@blogger.com
