Are you getting the epidural?

Question

Answer

I’ve had 5 with no epidural so I’m hoping I can continue and have this last labor with no medication :)

Answer

Don't get me wrong, being a first time mom I'm slightly afraid of labor, but I'm more afraid of having a needle in my back so no for me at this time. But we'll see. I'm going in with the intention of not getting one, but I'm keeping my options open too. Just want a safe delivery.

Answer

Look id like to try without but lets be honest that s*** hurts! Ive had 4 babies and must have a low pain threshold cause ive never been able to do it without. 
(Have also been induced every time)

Answer

I’m a second time mom but I haven’t decided what I’m doing yet lol. I got it with my 2 year old with no issues but I might skip it this time because I kind of want to experience labor without it. However my labor was so easy and quick with my 2 year old and I was able to relax because the epidural so that was nice lol

Answer

I’m going to try to go without it since I have a high pain tolerance and I think it’d be an amazing journey/experience. But if I have to be induced, I’ll probably get it!

Answer

First baby was induced, second water birth. Both no pain meds. Hoping to have third with no pain meds also. Looking forward to birth.

Answer

I am terrified of needles so with my first I didn’t get any meds and boy idk how the hell I got through that 🤣. 21 years later and I remember the pain very well.  I screamed for epidural by the time it was too late. I opted for epidural with my second son and it seriously made my delivery feel like a breeze. I am definitely getting it again with this one.

Answer

Hell no. Not having needles anywhere near my spine thanks lol. It's less common here in the UK anyway, but anyone I know that had it has ongoing back issues too. 
I was induced in hospital with number 1 and had gas and air, having this one at home with gas and air x

Answer

With my first baby I got the epidural but it literally stopped working an hour before time to even start pushing🙃 I pushed for over an hour and got 22 stitches without it so I think this time around I’ll be trying without it but it’s also been over 4 years since my first was born so I am kinda terrified of giving birth again and might chicken out😅😅

Answer

I will be getting it again. I got it with my first baby and once I had it done, labor wasn’t so bad. From the time my water broke to when she was here was about 10 hours.   
I hope it goes that well this time too.
