Do you want to have a...

Question

Answer

I decided to see how far I could make it. Mother of god. Eight hours in I was begging for it. I would have blacked out from the pain. I had to push for over four hours and was almost a c section. No way I could have done it without help.

Answer

100% set on having a natural birth ☺️

Answer

If I'm in unbearable pain I want meds. There is nothing more special about a person who gives birth naturally, that only gives them "bragging rights". I just want my baby out and healthy and if that means taking meds it's fine with me.

Answer

I've done one each way and this one I will have the epidural!

Answer

I totally respect individual choices and everyone doing what is right for their body. I've had one each way and I can say if I don't have to I will never have meds again with my oldest I had preclampsia and had to be induced at 37 weeks. I was on magnesium sulfate the entire time and I opted for an intrathequal  I hated having to be on a catheter and the way I felt afterwards was terrible. With my second baby I did completely natural birth I was able to walk around the halls,use a birthing ball and the whirlpool tub. It was a fantastic labor. I can't remember any pain except for when it was time to push. The best part for me was having the pesky IV out the next day! :)
