  • I'm doing it! I was only in labor for 3 and a half hours with my son and I had an epidurak but it never kicked in so I felt everything and to be honest, it wasn't the horror story I thought it was gonna be! My doc is very encouraging and says you usually do better and go faster the 2nd time around. Besides, the meds have been known to slow labor. So....wish me luck! :)
  • I'm going to give it a try. I was all about the epidural until I watched The Business of Being Born.
  • Lmao. I can't do it! I just know it's going to hurt and since this is my first I have a feeling I'll be in labor a full damn day. I'll get the epidural. I'm always down for pain meds!
  • I want to do that's the plan and that needle scares me a lot so that's gonna be my motivation

  • I don't like to take medicines anyway. My doc teased me when I went in for a sinus infection. She was looking in my history to see if I had used a Z pack before and when, and laughed that I never go to the doctor. I don't even take mucinex or psuedophed. I even limit my Tylenol and motrin use. I just don't like putting unnecessary chemicals in my body. So why would I jump on an epidiral? Doesn't make sense when I think about it.
  • My mom was in labor with me for 22 hrs with no pain meds. As a result she only had one kid, lol.
  • I guess I'm not terrified of needles cause I'm in the medical field and Im around them everyday. I also have tatts so they don't bother me. I'm opting for the drugs, lol. Stick that needle in my back,please!
  • I guess it all depends on that day!! I was natural w/my son..but its not like I had time!! I was 9cm when I got to the hospital ..
  • My first birth was completely natural. Because of the whole awesome experience I had with my doctor at the time I believe that is why it was. Amazing. Although 45 mjn labor start to finish who would have had time. Due to inducing complication I had an epi with my second, but still felt the pain. Am going to try for natural again.
  • Oooh and I forgot, I seen a documentary on giving birth instead of the pain you can have an orgasm instead :)
  • @Beatrice1436 Lmfao! Wth? Do you have to channel it or something? lol.
  • @ BeautifulOne idk...I just remembered seeing on the health channel or something like that..or mayb dr.phil..
  • i dont know about it or not i am really interested in a water birth thought
  • I Had both my kids natural, wouldn't change it. Best experience of my life. This one is going to be the same. Watch the business of being born!
  • I'm planning on having a natural birth. I've heard it's great. Painful, but great. I also watched the business of being born. (hubby watched it too!) The only reason I would have any intervention is if there's a serious complication. :)
  • I'm going to try it. This is my 3rd.
  • I had a natural birth with my first. I plan on doing it again.
  • im going natural, my mother is the biggest "PAIN" wimp i know so if she can push out 10 kids with NO meds i KNOW i can lol
  • I did it 4 times!! U ladies got this!! It hurts like hell but u can do it!!
  • I had natural with my first son by no choice hurt like hell but the 2nd one the shot happened late the 3rd epi. Thinking natural cuz this my fiance first n I want him to really know wat we as women goes thru
  • I had natural wit my daughter hopefully I can do it again it wasn't so bad just how u can handle pain :)
