Nobody tells you that contractions are worse than pushing, and an epidural could only work on one side of your body. Told by the mums of #mumtribe, here are 21 things no one tells you about labour...
Waters might break, it’s painful, and you may likely rip—down there. Oh, and poop could come out while you’re pushing .
But in the panic of realising that you’re in labour, you might decide to rush to the hospital sooner instead. A lot of women have reported having two- and even three-day labours, but if we take into consideration that one woman in Poland was in labour for5) Waters break, and just keep on coming out till the baby is bornin movies, it just looks like a cup of water has been spilled to the floor in between the expectant mother’s legs.

Vomiting is the body’s natural way to tell you that the body is currently in overdrive, but don’t worry; it’s completely normal and very common. There’s nothing quite like the relief of anafter relentless contractions, and the best part is that it takes effect almost immediately.
