edited March 2011 in Giving birth
Is it really bad? Cuz I hate needles, but hate pain...besides I might not be able to get any drugs

  • I'm doing a natural birth, I'm debating trying hypnosis tho :)
  • This is my first and I'm going natural with? Midwives. I feel like I have a pretty good tolerance of pain and I'm bit of an adrenaline junkie.
    Also just think the body is capable, has been the way since the start of time.

    But will be done at a hospital. Just appreciate the reassurance of nearby feeling doctors, surgeons, nurses, and mostly reassurance of painkillers. Just knowing they're under the same roof will be a peace of mind.
  • Maybe water birth
  • I had an all natural birth with my daughter. It hurt but not as bad as i thought it would.
  • Epidural lover here! My delivery was so calm and quiet. I was able to rest so when it was time to push I had so much energy! She came out in less than 10 min of pushing. I'd rather have that than be screaming in pain and not in control - which is how I would of been!
  • Same here. Once the epidural was in a slept for 2 hours, woke up and twenty min later was holding my daughter. Needed the rest bc I had been in labor for 18 hrs pain med free and was only 6cm. My dr made me stay on the monitor for close to 10 hrs so I couldn't walk around to help labor progress. My water hadn't broken either. Hoping this dr let's me stay mobile so things move along this time and I don't get so worn out. Maybe this time I can make it the whole time w/o meds
  • They are diff for everyone. I hope this babyyy is natural like my first.
