Question by FunkyMonkey: If you delivered a premie was labor painful?
I know odd question, i am not trying to be weird, but if you delivered or if someone delivers a micro premie for example is labor still painful? i know the contractions would be but what about the passage through the canal.
I was reading about micro premies that were delivered at under 24 weeks that were like 8 inches long and less than a pound, so with something THAT tiny i had to wonder how labor was.

Best answer:

Answer by Kendra J
The baby coming out is not the painful part, the contractions are what causes the pain. So yes, it hurts no matter the size of the baby. It burns when the baby actually delivers.

    My friend had stillborn at 7 months and she went through labour. She said the babies legs just fell out and then she pushed him straight out, only painful thing was contractions? I guess everyone is different

    my brother was 3 months premie and i was 1 1/2 months premie and my mom said delivery was very quick and not as painful as she thought it was going to be but we were both small, my brother was 2 pounds and i was 4 1/2 pounds. She said labor was maybe only 5 hours with my brother and i came out right away because my mom had her cervix sewen and as soon as they snipped the stitches i came out with only a few pushes
