hello! stay calm dear!
I had 3 natural birth without epidural, the pain is like menses cramps at the starts then slowly it gets more intense cramps after cervix dilate 5cm onwards. I took laughing gas though, its fun to me, I keep inhaling it to divert the pains attention for short while only.
as for giving birth part, it's exactly same feeling as you're shitting, you won't feel any pains when they cut your cervix, you'll only feel that you want to " poop " .
As for the stitching part, they'll inject to numb that area before starts stitching, no pains as well just that you can feel your skin being pull lol.
I strongly believe every mummy are afraid of the pains, so you're not alone! if you can't handle the " cramps " then just go with epidural.
