I was desperate and exhausted and feeling sick by that point. The pain comes in waves... contractions... which get closer together and more painful as the baby gets closer to birth. It's the waves that is the exhausting part. And man, I was verbally abusing my poor boy and cursing every extremity on his body for putting me through that. I never thought I would be one of those girls, but when you're there and you're going through it, it's pretty intense. Plus you're full of hormones during the birth and it's hard to even think straight. There's nothing nice or attractive about it.
