Natural?

Question

Anyone going natural ( no epidural) this is my 2nd pregnancy and this time i want to try but im so scared but i dont want the back pain since i already do have it.

Answer

I had a natural birth totally unmedicated and it was the most beautiful experience. Only the last ten mins were unbearable for me and the birth itself didn’t hurt at all. I advise you to watch The Business of Being Born your local library probably has it. Mine did. I watched a ton of natural birth stories and started listening to natural birth hypnosis (hypnobabies hypnobirthing are two other search terms) and that REALLY helped me in early labor.
I also had a loving supportive partner and hired a doula. The doula was amazing and worth every penny. 
The more you know about natural birth and the more trust you put into your body the easier it will be. They try to scare women into interventions but the truth is you will most likely not need them. 
My first two were inductions and this last one was all natural and will be hands down one of the most special experiences of my life. And not for nothing while the other moms were all messed up on meds I was walking around, my baby was alert as hell and we left the hospital after a day and a half.

Answer

I am. I'm doing a VBAC and my chances of a successful vbac are significantly increased if I go natural.

Answer

I went naturally twice, I’d never get an epidural. It’s really not that bad once you put your mind to it, it’s a head game.

Answer

I had natural both times, I’m planning on doing it again for my third. Nbd.

Answer

I did with my daughter and will with this one too if I can. My labor was less than 5 hours in the hospital and she came out fairly easily. I get back pain during pregnancy and pretty much as soon as she was out the pain was gone.

Answer

Yeah going natural here. My mom had an epi and naturals and preferred the naturals.
Faster bounce back, less tearing, more control.

Answer

I had my daughter unmedicated and am planning the same for this time.

Answer

I am. I dont see the point in the risk with an epidural.

Answer

I'm hoping to. It'll be a vbac though. I've never had the chance to try, all c-sections for me. This'll be my 4th and it still scares the bejeezus out of me!

Answer

I might not have a choice lol I was born with spinabifida, the deformation is bone (not soft tissue) and I’ll have to meet with the anesthesiologists to determine whether or not I’ll be able to receive an epidural.
