If growing pains hurt like this, then I don't want to have labor

Ouchie! I've got ligaments stretching in places that have never stretched before - and I've got a little baby that's kicking and shouldering them.

Yesterday morning I woke up to crampiness. It lasted all day long, into this morning. My nurse saw me this morning and informed me that it's normal and I should drink water.

I'm walking around very slowly and hunching over in order to avoid stretching my torso.

Start me on the epidural now please.
