What quickens Labor & makes things more comfortable?

Question

Sorry if stupid question, never had a baby. why do some people labor 1 hour & others like 50 hours? Doesn't modern medicine have ways to speed the dilation & process a bit without danger to the baby?

Answer

Well if you’re speeding those things up before your body is actually ready, there can be complications. I had a rather easy labor. I just focused on pain management. The interventions that speed things up tend to actually make things more painful. Slow and steady is in my opinion a better way to do things. I had a 13 hour labor with no epidural, pain medication, or anything to induce. It was pleasant compared to how others go. I was in a birthing pool which helped a lot. I don’t mean to make it sound like people who experience excruciating pain are doing things wrong because that’s not he case either. People just have different bodies and different experiences.

Answer

I’ve had one with an epidural and one without anything and I would choose the epidural again. It made for a much nicer and relaxing birthing experience for me. There wasn’t a difference between the two babies health wise or anything other than one was painful and the other wasn’t.

Answer

Because everybody is different. C section is modern medicine's solution.
