  • Well natural again. Did natural w/ my 1st. It hurt like hell but was worth it. Only was in labor for 4hrs!. Hopefully this one doesn't keep me in long..
  • This is my first and i plan on going Natural
  • This is my 4th pregnancy. First 2 natural and 3rd was an epidural. This one will be an epidural too. Hopefully
  • This is my first and after a lot of research I have decided to go natural and will also be using my husband as my birthing coach. We will be going to Bradley (spelling?) classes.

  • I'm going to try to do it natural. But.... if It's too painful then EPIDURAL.
  • Epidural all the wayyyyyyyyyyy lmao knock me the eff out please!!! lol
  • Drugs! Lol I watched those documentarys on Netflix and personally it didn't change my mind, but its your body so it should totally be your decision :) this is my first too and I just never had any interest in natural and knew I wanted all the drugs they would give me, Lol, good luck fellow preggo :) how far along are you?
  • Epidural with my first and I'll be having one again. I had the quickest labor and it didn't hurt a bit.
  • I am going natural with.this one again. I did all natural with my daughter but was also only in labor for 59 mins after my water broke and barely made it to hospital (she was my first lol) I hope this one comes quick also :)
  • I will definitely be getting an epidural. I hate needles but by the time those contractions kicked in the size of the needle was not a thought. In fact I don't remember it hurting at all. I then rested for 7 hours while my body labored and I delivered a healthy, alert baby after 45 minutes of pushing. It was an amazing and beautiful birth. I plan on an epi with this little guy.
  • This is my first as well n I will be getting an epidural for sure!
  • I got an epidural and it stopped working at 7 cm and when I got it my bp dropped to 56/36 and they almost lost me :( dont remember any of it but my labor stopped progressing until the epidural stopped working almost had to have s c section
  • @uncaffeinated_katie - That's great! I hope things go wonderfully for you! Can't wait to hear about your experience.
    I don't begin my classes until June. I'm due October 3rd
  • Im going to try to go as long as I can without an epidural but ill probably end up gettin one.
  • I admire all you who go natural!! I couldn't do it with my first. Unfortunately this one with be another c section.
  • I'm doing it natural like my first unless I need a c section.

  • I think probably epidural. I am newly pregnant and haven't really looked into natural methods yet. Any recommendations are welcome!
  • natural if it ever comes im 2 days over due :(
  • Im going to try for natural. My first, I had an epi, but it didn't really work. My second was natural, she was born on the way to the hospital, and it was the most wonderful experience for me. I want to try to get that again.
  • I am going natural with this one I had an epidural with my first and had a horrible experience they put the needle into far and got a spinal headache for two weeks could barley get outta bed it sucked.
    my bp also dropped really low I blacked out

  • I had the epi with my first. It was not a good experience. I couldn't stand the fact that I couldn't walk over to her little roller bed for the first 5 hours of her being born. A nurse had to hand her to me. The epi had my legs completely numb and useless for over 5 hours. I couldn't even pee by myself! This one will be all natural unless I am required a c-section.
  • This is my first. I'm having twins, so for sure I'm going to need the epidural! :)
  • I went natural w my first two and def plan on going natural w my twins this time. Im so ready to pop!
  • This is my first and im going natural hubby will be my birth coach and advocate! Im actually looking forward to labor!
