Do you plan to give a natural birth or give birth with pain meds or epidural? What is your reasoning? I’ve given a natural birth before and it was not an enjoyable experience and I actually almost passed out while giving birth, my husband was on edge and concerned and he was not relaxed at all. With my second I swore I would get the epidural which I did and that birth went very smooth and was an enjoyable experience for myself and my husband. With this baby I want it to be the same as my second birth so I plan to get the epidural again. I personally didn’t have any issues after getting the epidural. I was able to get up and walk around after giving birth naturally and when I gave birth with the epidural it was the same. I’ve heard many horror stories about women having issues after getting the epidural but that hasn’t been an issue for me personally.
