Going natural? Pros \Cons

Question

So I'm still debating whether I wanna try and go natural. I really wanna try it but I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it. What are your thoughts? Is it worth it, what were the advantages and disadvantages if going natural?

Answer

There are no disadvantages to delivering naturally. Your body was designed to do it and to deal with the pain.

Answer

Darling if you want to try going natural, well done, and bravo! There is no shame in trying to go natural and getting help later if you need to. All the best... how far are you?

Answer

I will say I wanted to go natural too and I made it a good while about 5 hours after my water broke( that's when they got super intense). I got epidural then because the pain in my back got so bad and I was starting to feel mean. I wanted to have a good experience where I was happy and not super exhausted. I got in whe I could no longer focus on my breathing. I'm glad I did it.

Answer

Pros:
Less chance of necessary induction
Less chance of emergency c-section
Legs aren't numb so you walk sooner

Cons:
Ouch!

My plan is to go in planning a natural birth but I'm open to meds if necessary. I don't have anything to prove but I'll take any chance to lessen the odds of needing induction or c-section. And I don't want to be stuck in bed after birth if I can help it.

Answer

I've had 5 babies and am pregnant with my 6th. I've never considered my babies I've had natural to be something better than when I've had an epidural. Yes your body was designed to go through it... Is it hard... Yes!! Would I go through it again? Yes! Do I really want to when I don't have to? Nope! Having my babies without was miserable suffering... Having my babies with was like having a birthday party. So everybody is different and every delivery is different. Go as far as you can and if you can't handle it... Don't feel bad. It doesn't make you less of a mommy.

Answer

I did go natural with my first I really didn't have a choice. By the time I got to hospital (35 min after water broke) I was at 8 1/2 cm and everything just started to  feel sooo  intense don't get me wrong it hurt horribly bad mostly back pain. But it happened so fast I had her in 40 min from getting to hospital. Very nervous for my next one. As I will probably go natural again just because it felt good knowing I was able to get through that!

Answer

Natural birth is amazing and it makes you feel like super woman! I had a long natural birth with my first and I am planning a natural home water birth for my second in June.

Answer

My labor was over 26 hours and after 16 hours I was so exhausted and in pain I had the epidural which allowed me to rest and rally. Ended up having emergency c section but would have the epidural again for baby 2. You're having a baby - pushing another life out of you - nothing more natural then that no matter if there's an epidural or other pain meds.

Answer

If you want to go natural, just make sure to take birthing classes. It teaches you coping techniques and you will be more successful in having a natural birth if that's what you want!

Answer

I go in with the plan to do natural. If I end up getting an epidural then that's how it goes. I won't feel bad for getting an epidural. That's what happened with my son. I planned on doing it natural but ended up getting the epidural.
