Hard ?: It will be hard as you will need to do pushing and it will put a lot of additional stress on your belly muscles. I am not sure what can be done at this juncture. Epidural will probably take the pain away, but there will be more damage to the muscle after the delivery and obviously more pain. You will need to consult your obgyn regarding your options.
