If you had an unmedicated birth would you do it again?

Question

I had an epidural with my first but I really wanna try to do it unmedicated this time. I’m not set on it and if it’s too much I’ll just get an epidural. What was your experience like? Any tips on how to get through it?

Answer

I had 3 unmedicated births. I just think to myself... the pain is temporary, billions of women have done it, I can do it too.

Answer

Had an unmedicated birth with my first and would definitely do it again. It was definitely the most difficult thing I’ve EVER done, but without a doubt the most rewarding.

Answer

I had an epidural for the first and went natural the second. I loved natural birth. Would recommend a thousand times over personally.

Answer

I’ve had 2 natural and plan to have my third with no meds as well. It’s painful but it’s amazing.

Answer

I did half of mine lol 😂 I went all the way to a 10cm and doctor came in saying I needed a C section because baby wasn’t going to come out on his own. But I when I did the 13 hours and 4 hours of pushing unmediated I just knew that at the end it would have been worth it. I regret all the pain for nothing because of the c section but it was a good learning process

Answer

I got an epidural after my water was broken for 4 hours and I had been in labor for 22. But I loved being in labor, and have better knowledge of what to do differently next time to prevent getting an epidural. I hadn’t slept at all the day I was induced (at 9pm) so that definitely made it very difficult. Also I wanted them to time and count down my contractions for me, which didn’t happen, but if they had I’m 90% sure I would have been able to make it through my transition.

Answer

Four of my 6 were unmedicated. I wish I had never had those interventions. It cased issues for us

Answer

Stay home as long as you can. I was way more comfortable here at home than stuck in a freaking hospital bed. I wanted to go all natural but I started having anxiety. I was a 7-8 when we got there and 5 contractions later, I just get on the bed, my water breaks and all bets were off. I had an epidural 20mins after getting to the hospital and was at a 10 within the hour.

Answer

24 hours from start to finish and I would do it again 100%. Best experience of my life.

Answer

I went unmedicated with two pregnancies and i would recommend an awesome birthing coach. I chose my mom an this pregnancy im choosing her again cus i dont think i could have gone through it without her. I was in labor for 7 and 8 hours so not too bad but i cant say I wouldn’t chose an epidural tho if it was 10+ hours
