Anyone else not getting the EPI?

Question

I am so scared man! I dont want it and didnt have it with my other 2 but I remember the pain. Ladies please reassure me it will be fine lol.  The closer I get the more scared I become. Pushing was the worst pain off the whole thing with my second so I'm hoping I dont feel a thing like I did with my first while pushing.

Answer

I actually can’t have an epidural, but I wouldn’t want one anyways. I’m sooo excited for a natural birth. Bring in the pain! I’m ready!

Answer

I didn’t get one with my first, and I haven’t decided with this one. Pushing was the worst for me too, which makes me scared to not get it even if I’m handling contractions well knowing the pain that might be coming

Answer

I didn’t get one with my first, and not going to with my second either. I agree on pushing being terrible, I pushed for an hour but I remember literally crying like is this even working?! I made it through the first time though so fingers crossed that this one just comes out in one or two pushes and I’m done!

Answer

Didnt have one with my first and dont plan on getting one this time. Pushing was not the problem with me. I pushed for 10min and honestly can say the pictocin that got me to that point was way worse!! I only pray that my body dilates like a normal person and I can skip the pictocin.
