All Natural birth ?

Question

So long story short, had an epidural with my first and second baby. Well the woman who did my epidural the second time around messed up bad.. talking about hit my sciatic nerve 2x and I couldn’t walk or sit up straight at all till the next day, so this time around I’m scared to get an epidural, so any mamas who had an all natural birth how was it ? I’ve went out to 7cm before I got my epidural lol mom and sister say I can do it.. but I have a low pain tolerance. Please share stories ❤️

Answer

Had an epidural with my first and it was fabulous. Something went wrong with my second epidural, my blood pressure dropped to dangerously low levels (I was starting to slur my speech and pass out) so the anesthesiologist said he had to cut me off and wouldn’t give me the epidural anymore. Wooooowwwwwweeeeeee I was NOTTTTTTT prepared for the pain. I was asking the nurse if I should YouTube how to breathe through the contractions cause I thought I was dying. She was like “I think you’re doing fine. I think the breathing is just to distract you from the pain.” Hahah. Anyways giving birth felt like pushing a watermelon out of my asshole. Very scared for the third delivery but at least I sort of know what to expect this time.

Answer

Both of my births were natural - we dont have epidurals in my town.
My first was the worst because I had pitocin and I was pushing for 9 hours and I broke my back. 
My second baby was a water birth and the whole thing only lasted 2hours. Just keep reminding yourself that you're strong and itll all be over soon!!!
Its 100% worth it even just to get up afterwards and carry your baby back to the bed!!!

Answer

I'm going all natural. Watch videos and read articles about preparing your body for it. I'm hiring a birth doula because with my last two my husband was useless and I know I'll need good consistent support. Also look into things that are supposed to speed up labor. I don't hold a lot of stake into all of it but it's comforting knowing I'm doing all I can do.

Answer

My first I got an epidural, I was induced and pitocin sucks! With my second i went into labor on my own, I wanted an epidural but it went to fast to get one. It was hard in the moment but the recovery was so much easier! Like a thousand times easier! Then with my third I planned a at home natural birth. It was the best experience I could have asked for! 
If you do try without epidural, have someone supporting you who will remind you that labor doesnt last forever and recovery is so much better!

Answer

I'm curious as well! I got to an 8 before begging with my first. Half of me feels like I could do it, if it was quick lol and than the other half I'm scared I'm going to put baby in distress from not staying calm.

Answer

First baby I was induced was a long painful labour I got an epidural but ended up in theatre anyway, 
second I had dia morphine and a little gas and air ( getting induced in my experience the pain is stronger and more painful) 
third only gas and air in the birthing pool and omg that was amazing would definitely recommend 
And I’m a pansy! I don’t have a high pain tolerance
