[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]9 weeks with Cytotec. You are all WAY tougher than me because I was in shock, horror, and agony at the pain. Had to get counseling to deal with the fact I was told it would feel like heavy menstrual cramping. It felt like being ripped apart.[/quote]

Eh, it's not toughness, everyone experiences things differently. Being ripped apart is how I would describe my unmedicated childbirth. So the subsequent miscarriages and cytotec etc were not nearly as bad. It's all relative and very individual.[/quote]

I've subsequently been fortunate enough to give birth to a healthy child. I had an epidural, but the contractions prior to the epidural were exactly on the order of what I experienced during the Cytotec-induced miscarriage. It was "as bad as" real-full term labor. [/quote]

Well, as I said, it's very individual. Also, the point of the epidural is to stop the pain ... and while the contractions I had in labor were awful, the ripped-apart feeling was transition and actual pushing, which presumably an epidural would prevent. I will likely get an epidural with my next delivery, so maybe I will find out! Could also be I experienced it differently because I did the childbirth first and the miscarriages after. In any event, it all sucks, physically and emotionally.[/quote]
