I've never screamed and I've never had pain meds other than half shots of narcotics way to early to last through. My first labour (6 hours) I told my mother I didn't want to do this anymore and I wanted to go home. LoL. About half hour later, she was born.
My second labour was ungodly long (23 hours 45 minutes) due to incompetent doctors not realizing the baby was posterior (facing up instead of down) and her head was cocked crooked ... ear first. 5 hours of no progress and a whole lot of pain. Once they figured that out, 15 minutes later she was born.
Third was super easy. 2 hours long.
Fourth was an emergency c-section due to a failed version (to turn the baby from breech to head down) that resulted in distress.
My first three were all post-term inductions. I've never went into labour on my own barring at 7 months with baby #2 that landed me in the hospital for awhile.
I tore with my first one and they cut me with my second. With my third they noticed the tear/cut hadn't properly been sewed (student doctors delivered the first two) so they cut and restitched properly during his birth. It hurts, but the pain is nothing compared to birth. It feels like a pin prick comparitively. Your dealing with a tremendous amount of pain so that is nothing.
I haven't noticed any changes from having the kids. :)
