Does anyone else thing leg cramps are more painful than labor?
I think leg cramps are BRUTAL!
I was in labor for almost 22 hours but never got past 7cm and then had a c.
Im sure everyone's experience is different but I think leg cramps hurt a lot worse than contractions!
I hate going to sleep wondering if it will be a leg cramp night!
Does anyone agree?

I'm glad you put labor this way. It makes it seem like it will be a breeze then

That is why I am so curious if I am the only one who thinks this!! Leg cramps are a killer and they last for minutes at a time. The contractions dont last for that long each time!

I get Charlie horses pretty frequently (even before I was pregnant) and yes, I think they hurt worse than my contractions did. I got an epi once my contractions were two minutes apart though so that could be why. My Charlie horses hurt so bad Ive wanted to cut my leg off a few times so maybe I just get them extra bad.

The nurses offered me the EPI way before I took it because I was like really, I need an EPI for this? Isnt it going to get worse? I was induced and on Pitocin so maybe that is why? When a leg cramp comes on I start screaming like mad and my husband gets scared. Didnt scream once during a contraction! I guess I had pretty mild contractions!

Re: Does anyone else thing leg cramps are more painful than labor?
I don't know about that...I would take a leg cramp every night of the week over what it felt like right before I got my epidural. The pain was tremendous!!  I also had pitocin too. Funny how it is different for everyone!

I got one leg cramp a few weeks ago and I really thought I was going to die. It was so bad. I have no idea what labor feels like, so I can't compare!
