Okay I really don’t but it’s hard not to feel a little annoyed when you’re going through a healing process both mentally and physically and your mil and even your mom is telling you stuff like “wow giving birth is nothing now you don’t even feel the pain with epidurals now!” Or “post partum depression? Back in the day we didn’t have stuff like that but it’s probably because we were always so busy. Idk about the new generation now a days”. And it’s crazy because I went to the hospital 7 cm dilated and then didn’t get the epidural till I was 8 (a miracle they let me get it at all) so I felt it for the most part (the nurses were impressed I made it that far).

Tbh I didn’t go to the hospital sooner bc when I felt the contractions my s/o and mil told me that I need to be stronger and that I was exaggerating. Only person who supported me was my friend who told me to go to the hospital.

My s/o was even telling me I was exaggerating on the pain and that I had medicine before I pushed and it gets me so pissed!!

Is having an epidural that bad and lazy?
