From someone who has given birth, to me anyway, there were multiple stages to it - some felt like needing to pee, some felt needing to p*p/throw up (like I had eaten too much), and some of it... was rather pleasurable. 🫣 And then I got my epidural when I was 5cm dilated, so I didn't feel anything but pressure the rest of the time. But it was super overwhelming and confusing when I first got to the hospital and was about halfway dilated, so I totally get Jaheon in this chapter lmao. Also spent soooo much of the beginning of my labor in the bathroom lol.
