If you’re considering the epidural, GET IT. Omg. I waiting till I was over 7 cm dilated, and the pain was unbearable and making me shake and cry uncontrollably. I was trying so hard not to cry and control my breathing like everyone says but i was impossible. They also had to do the epidural twice so I endured an extra 20+ mins of pain for that as well. Epidural = sweet relief

I was so set on natural but I do not think my body could have done it. It was really scary how painful it got and how I had no control over my body. Also it allowed me to relax and dilate to 9 now naturally. I’m currently waiting to push in peace and with my sanity 😂❤️ good luck to any other February mamas about to go through labor!!
