How does IUD placement compare to childbirth in terms of pain?
In the US and based on all the bullshit I've made the choice to get an IUD. I'm trying to brace myself for the pain because I had to have an epidural and could not tolerate labor. I had a vaginal birth with a 2nd degree tear, but tbh I didn't feel a thing because of the epidural. I was induced with cervadil and that was pretty bad.
So for those of you who have had an IUD, how do it compare to childbirth? Is it similar to labor pains?
Yeah yeah, it's barbaric they don't give any anesthesia, but nothing I can do about it right now except prepare myself mentally.
