Getting annoyed
So I’m 19 & this is my first baby. I’m going natural/un-medicated. I’ve done tons of research since being pregnant (I’m 32 weeks now) about alternatives to pain meds etc. & know this is exactly what i want. I’m extremely confident & actually excited about birth!! However, the lack of support or rather the lack of belief from family is starting to get super annoying. Things such as “you’ll probably change your mind” “are you sure??” “just be prepared to ask for medicine” make me nuts! On top of that i have my boyfriend constantly telling me how terrified and scared he is to be in the room lol i just wish they’d do research of their own because i don’t need anyone in the delivery room trying to persuade me to get numbing meds, anyone freaking out, or anyone constantly jittery and uneasy. I understand some women think they’ll go unmedicated and end up not being able to, but unless there’s a medical emergency I️ WILL be pushing my girl out unmedicated & that’s just the attitude you have to have about it! If only my “support system” did too 😑😒
p.s. nothing wrong with asking for pain relief, I’ve just learned too many natural techniques and alternatives to ask for an epidural, i got this ☺️
