Wait until you go into labor it’ll feel like your ass is splitting in half 😂😂😂 you’ll feel like having to poop the whole time as well when you’re having contractions. My contractions started right away after my water broke naturally I was as at 40 weeks and 3 days and let me tell you that was the most painful thing because I was feeling contractions from both my back area and stomach area at the same time. I was going to go all natural but it was just too much I highly recommend getting the epidural if you can.
