I’ve given my midwife my expectations... no pain meds period. I did it before with my second pregnancy and he was a big boy and though painful I felt amazing and empowered after the birth... the nurse I had was amazing and really rooted me on even when I asked for meds she kept telling me I didn’t need them and she was right!

I felt so empowered! Birthed a 9 and half pound baby el naturale!

Fast forward to this pregnancy... my husband is scared (this is his first baby) of me doing this natural. He doesn’t think he can handle me being in pain. I’m scared he won’t push me through like I need. I’ve tried talking to him that it’s my choice and I’m choosing this route and need him to push me through it... but he’s not very reassuring... saying if I even slightly mention the meds... he’s going to tell me to get them. Nooooo.

I’m really just hoping my nurse is as bad ass as my last one... cause I realllllly loved my natural birth and everything about how it made me feel. The adrenaline was amazing.

(This is my third pregnancy. My first was medicated and second was unmedicAted... I have experienced both and I just personally prefer natural! No swaying me.)

Need some more ideas on how to get my husband on board!! We are having a baby in less than a week!
