Birth 😩

Bonnie

Could be a stretch but I'm wondering - has anyone had both a forcep delivery and natural delivery? Did it feel different? My first birth was terrible and ended up with forceps, even though I had an epidural (light) I could still feel the immense pressure and horrible pulling as she was being delivered, it was pretty traumatic for me, and the recovery from that well.. I'll say I couldn't sit down for nearly two weeks. I'm 17 weeks along with my second girl and having difficulty mentally preparing for the birth already, I'm extremely anxious about it. I'm wondering how different it would feel to have a natural delivery (with epidural still). 😩
