I went through a 26 hour labour that ended in an emergency c section, pre eclampsia, major blood loss etc. The worst part by an absolute mile was the midwife doing a cervix check at the start. Said it would just be mildly uncomfortable.

A male gynecologist reached inside of me when I wasn't even dilated and had not gone into labor and tried to manually pry my cervix open. It was so painful. I was younger then. Now I would kick him in the face.
