can anyone give me some advice on labor ? i really dont want IV's in me or the epadural . i want to try some moves or positions that will help ease the pain a little or at least get me through them . ?
I had high blood pressure at the end because my little man was not so little and I am. I wasn't able to walk around or anything like that. I had awful back labor and went through over 36 hours of labor and over 2 hours of pushing. I got no sleep through the night and was so worn out that we had to leave my midwifes birth center for the hospital. I got an IV shot to help me rest a little bit I was only able to have two shots and try wore off before I started pushing. I really didn't want that but without it I would have been too tired to push my son out and would have ended up with an emergency csection. Listen to your body. Have a good support system. Labor in a birthing tub, that was the only thing that helped me through the night. Get a doula mine was amazing.
