Labour and period pain, are they similar

[chocolatecatty]

Yep, my ctx were just like bad period pain. In saying that, it was bad but not unmanageable and I got through it without any drugs (just loooooots of water).

I have always thought that my previous period pain helped with my labour as I just went 'oh, ok. I've done this before just for a different reason'. So if anything, you might handle your ctx easier than someone who has never had any period pain in their life

Mine started out like period pain and got more intense.
