waitingformybaby - I'm very indecisive about an epidural as well! I'm not big on needles and my back is very sensitive, but everyone tells me your so focused on the labor pain, that getting the epidural doesn't phase you at all. I'm thinking of trying pain meds first to take the edge off and using the epidural as a last resort. Idk tho I'm going back and forth. I guess it all depends on the pain and how well my body takes it.
Nah, I know for some odd reason everything will be fine and dandy I'm prepared for the worst and I will be sure its done my way since my ob and hospital is very lenient
Not so scared of labour, just the tearing or being cut! If i dont get the epi, the needle down there to get stitches arghh i dont care about contractions, just that, thats why am headin more towards water then on the bed for epi
I'm not scared anymore. I've realized that its nothing to fear. Pain is temporary and I won't die giving birth. I'm planning on a natural birth. No drugs or c section for me unless its a matter of life and death.
I think I will be fine. They way I see it is I have never had a baby so the only thing I know is what people have said, but even then everyone is different. I think it will be easier with out drugs and thats what I am opting for. I want to labor in a tub (because it helps relieve pressure). Everyone that I have talked to that has had a baby (naturally and not) say the pain is not a lingering pain, it comes and goes and once the baby is born you forget it. And the baby coming out is not the worst part just the contractions but there are things you can do to ease the pain.
I definately am. I want to,try natural, butt idk. Plus my body rejects medicine and I have woken up early when I had my wisdom teeth removed. But I am more worried about raising her.
