Question

Pushing with no meds , pushing with meds , epidural , water birth , or c section ? And why 
I wanna try water birth because I think I’m more comfortable in water

Answer

I have always wanted to have a natural birth. My 1st and 2nd baby ai had epidurals I was very close to have emergency c-section. My 3rd birth I did have a natural birth. I had gestational diabetes so I could have a full on water birth. I was aloud to labor in the tub but once it came time to push I had to get out. I felt and still feel like a bad ass and happy that ai finally did it and with my last baby. 
Good luck! And just remember don't be hard on yourself if it doesn't work out. Just do what you feel is best for you and your baby! You got this no matter what!

Answer

I wanted a water birth and gas and air. 
In the end I was on the bed and had no pain relief 🤦🏻‍♀️. 
My BIL’s GF had their baby a couple months after me. She also wanted a water birth but wasn’t allowed due to being induced. In the end she had an emergency c-section. 
It’s good to have an idea of what you want but I rarely thing it goes perfectly to plan.

Answer

I am planning to labor as long as possible without an epidural. 
My hospital doesn't offer water birth so that option is out 
They do offer meds to help take the edge off the contractions so if I need that I'll use it along with the shower, tub, walking, and the birthing ball.
This is most likely my last pregnancy so I want as much of the entire experience as possible without being tied to the bed from an epidural.

Answer

I want a natural water birth with just gas and air if needed, with my older son I had a natural birth with just gas and air but didn't get a water birth because the rooms with the pools were in use at the time and my back labour was awful so when they were free I couldn't even get off the bed
