What are the safest and most effective pain relief options during labor?

Question

Hey mamas! I'm curious to know what pain relief methods you found helpful during labor. Did you try natural remedies like breathing techniques or water immersion, or did you opt for medical interventions like epidurals? Let's share our experiences and insights to support each other on this incredible journey!

Answer

Epidural for all 3. The first didn’t work and only numbed my right thigh. That was the most god awful pain/experience of my life. I’m not even going to try to sugarcoat it. For #2 & 3 it did its job and I could literally talk and laugh with the nurses my entire delivery. One nurse said I should be in one of the birthing videos because I was the calmest and not screaming crying or anything birthing mother she has assisted. Not going to lie, getting the epidural hurts a bit but as long as it works it makes your experience enjoyable.
