So, I plan on not getting the epidural. I just turned 17 and this is my first child. Yes, I'm young.…

i have 3 kids and preg with 4th I had my first at 16 and i did get a epidural it only worked for a few i could feel everything i felt wen my body was ready to push i felt my son rip me and the stiches being done. my daughter i also got one and the same thing i felt everything also my placenta got stuck so doc had to put his whole hand in me to take it out. i did not rip with my daughter. my 3rd son i didnt get one my labor was only 40 minutes. this one i am not getting it as well. i wanna walk around thru contractions i dont wanna have to be stuck on the bed i feel that makes labor worse not being able to move around.

Thank you!

you welcome!! ;)

I had my son at 15 my labor went so fast I couldnt get the epidural, they gave me a little shot to numb the area so they could make the incision to make the opening bigger.. when I was 18 I had my 2nd son and again no epidural but also they didn't do the incision and I had 3rd degree tearing which took longer to heal from. I'm trying to get pregnant again and I won't have an epidural when I do... it is nice cause u can walk or use the ball with an epidural u can't move
