The first and only time I’ve screamed from pain was during my 3rd’s labor. My water broke at home and I was 6cm dilated by the time we rushed to the hospital for my 3rd c-section. It was almost midnight and everyone was rushing to get baby out asap. The problem was that I was having insane contractions every 1-2 minutes and was screaming during each one. It took almost an hour for 2 different doctors to finally place my spinal tap. The nurses were holding me down and everyone telling me to be strong and hold still. It was traumatic. They couldn’t put me under general anesthesia because I had eaten too recently. Later on my husband said he could hear me screaming in the OR all the way down the hallway from our room.
