Babies' heartbeats are much faster... 140-160 or higher, while an adults is more around 70-80ish. And yes, contractions, labor... all of it hurts like nothing you can imagine or ever prepare for, but the reward is just as immense. I had two epidurals, and both failed, and the baby was taken out with forceps after 2 hours of pushing and 18 hours of labor. Kidney stones don't hold a candle to the kind of pain that comes with having a baby... not to scare you or anything... lol.

It's the baby's heartbeat and he was fine. Mind you, 26 hours after labour started, she gave up and the consultant whipped her in for a c-section.

is that the heart beat in the background?, if it is, its a bit fast isnt it? although, i suppose, your heart beat does go up with pain.

Is contraction really hurt? because i'm planing on having my daughter next month, and I'm worried about the contraction & labor part.
