Drug free birth in a hospital?

Question

Any one planning on havin or already had a natural drug free birth in a hospital with an obgyn? Please share your experience!!!

Answer

I went drug free with my 2nd, and plan on doing it again with this baby. The pain was not to bad. I went to plenty of birthing classes so I was mentally prepared. Idk if I could have done it if I went into the experience blind.

Answer

I'm 28 weeks so no baby yet, but I know many friends and family who have had a drug free birth in the hospital setting, I've never heard any complaints of something being pushed on them that they did not want.

Answer

I was induced so not exactly drug free, but I didn't get the epidural. I didn't care for the hospital setting though. They wouldn't let me get out of bed at all. I had to use a bed pan to use the bathroom. It was aweful. So this time I'm delivering at a birthing center.

Answer

Natural! No drugs unless needed.

Answer

Please comment with your stories or advice- I am still early but this is the plan

Answer

highly recommend you write your birth plan down on paper and have someone advocate those requests for you, a doula is the best person for this.
I had a million forms to sign while I was in labor at more than half dilated. I could not focus or read the paperwork. my husband was in charge of reading that crap... 
you can go in advance and sign all that paperwork if you want.

Answer

I had zero medication for my first birth (in a hospital where the staff never witnessed this apparently....) They also were confused by my request of no bath for baby, no circumcision, no Antibiotics drops in the eyes, no hep B vax, no vit K injection. I also left early(they recommend minimum 48hr stay), these people literally didn't understand my no epidural mindset. Also, I got a bill in the mail for $10k. Could not and did not pay this.
This baby will be UP/UC.

Answer

Hoping to with midwives and a doula on hand, but I definitely won't judge myself if I want or need an epidural.

Answer

I AM PLANNING TO DO IT DRUG FREE...
CUZ WITH MY FIRST I WAS ENDUCE SO TOO MUCH PAIN HAD TO HAVE THE EPIDURAL CUZ PRESURE WAS HIGH SO HOPEFULLY BABY COME NATURALLY AND DONT NEED ANY DRUG

Answer

With my first I was 40 weeks 5 days and my water broke, the big gush. 15 hours in the hospital and still no baby  and I was hurting!! I ended up getting one and 6 hours later he was out. Now with my second I was induced and was 22 hours after being admitted I got the epidural if I would have known that she was coming in 2 hours I wouldn't have gotten it. I was a 4 when I requested it and in 30 mins I was a 7. With baby #3 I'm going to try my best to do it unmedicated.
