Any first time mom's that already had their baby? Did you get an epidural or go natural? I don't want an epidural but if the pain is too much for me I feel like ima have to but I prefer to do it without the epidural.
well good luck girl! lol after a certain point the epidural is useless so hopefully you can just take it @kaymariah
@kori_mommy14 Yes and I want to try natural because I prefer not to have the epidural but if I really can't handle the pain I'll get it @kori_mommy14
Remember us as women it's what our bodies are made to do.. I'm going natural because I want to have the experience, even though I know it will hurt like hell. now I don't bash women who get the epi at all, but I say give it a try.. nd if you can't deal then by all means get the epi lol. everyone has a different experience
Idk what ima do when it happens that's why I haven't said for sure what ima do yet. when my friends asked if I'm ready for this my response is always bitch hell naw Lmao I'm a first time mom I have no idea what I'm in for until I actually feel it nobody is really ready for something they never did before especially not labor Lmao @babygirl10-11
it is very possible to do it maybe just find some things that relax u ... I gotta say I panicked during labor cuz it was so painful I didn't know wht to do but that breathing thing works ..
Lmao ima just try to do it without the epidural and if it gets too bad I'll get the epidural @waitingonnoah20 @babygirl10-11
lol me to when they kept saying breathe tru it I cussed at em .. my mom heared me screaming and cussing frm dwn the hall ... my poor hubby was looking all stressed out just looking at me scratching his head @waitingonnoah20
yeah I was breathing short, fast breaths & they (my dr & nurse) were telling me to slow down & just breath that did help me calm down a bit but yeah im the worst with pain lol @babygirl10-11
yeah if your bad with pain (like me) dont do it naturally its horrible. it made me all shaky and light headead afterwords. my sister was glad she had gotten the epidural after seeing me do it natural. @kaymariah
lol @waitingonnoah20 it was the opposite for me they kept telling me not to push to breathe tru it cuz there was no doctors I didnt listen so a nurse delivered my baby lol
i think labor hurt worse ...it only took 1 push get baby girl out
well I had no choice when I got to the hospital at 1240am I was already 8cm when they got me into the delivery room 10 mins later my baby was crowing the epidural man had just got there but she was already coming out everything happend so fast it was like a scene out the movie ... water broke at home home at 1220 am baby born 125am
Aw hell! Idk bout this natural thing. I'm not good with pain like that.
what got me through it though was knowing I was gonna get my Crush orange soda that I hadnt had in 9 months lol
both was unbearable for me. I didnt want anyone to talk to me or touch me for the contractions. I couldn't even get up to pee. they had to.empty me out via tube during the pushing and the pushing was just horrible it burned and every time i.got a contraction they wanted me to push through the pain and i.wanted to.give up it hurt so bad.
you both went all the way without the epidural so what actually hurt the baby coming out or what? I feel like if u went all that time without it then it wasn't that bad. @babygirl10-11 @waitingonnoah20
yeah but hey some women dont mind going through the pain. i honestly wanted the epidural because my sister went frm being in tears to eating popsicles and talking to everyone she was eay better & didnt feel a thing. @kaymariah
lol yeah i went from 3 to 10 cm in 2 hours but they let me try the epidural to see if I got lucky @babygirl10-11
@waitingonnoah20, yes it does i thought I was gonna die lol I wanted the epidural so bad but when I got to the hospital I was 8 1/2 cm by the time 10 mins after I got into the delivery room I was fully dilated and my baby was crowing so they wouldn't give me NOTHING ... I definitely cussed out a few nurses lol thank goodness it happened so fast
yes. i kept telling the doctors i.couldnt do it but they were very patient with me lol the epidural was nothing, and i dont have any back pain from getting it. it was just a waste because it didnt work on me.
@waitingonnoah20 it hurt badly having the baby natural?
i wanted an epiduarl but i was fully dilated when they came back to check me so it didnt really work on me :/ it hurts, badly!
Yea I know. my sister had the drug thru her IV with her first baby she said it worked til her water broke and the contractions were more intense and shorter the drug wasn't doing shit after that Lol @babygirl10-11
there other opinions besides the epidural to.. they don't work ass well but they help a little
Oh Ok. everyone I know that got the epidural now have back problems it's rare that I hear someone didn't have problem with it at all but that's good. @babygirl10-11
and ive had 2 epidural for my last kids it worked GREAT and I have no problems what so ever
im not a first time mom but I just had my baby natural ... I have to say it was the worst pain of my life and I didnt think i could do it but I did ... not by choice tho and that hole breathing thang they tell you to do total works so if u plan on a natural labor practice that breathing lol
@octbaby1031, that's why I don't want it. I don't want the consequence that comes with getting an epidural and if I can handle one day of labor I wanna do it natural. epidural causes problems for the rest of your life.
If i can go back in time && not get the epidural i wouldnt. it messed up my back && it didnt even work :( ... but everyones body is different.
im the same as you I dont want one!!! my boyfriend keeps telling me to get one.I want to try to do with out it but if it gets to bad ill get it
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!

I will be 41 :/
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
lol i was a bit mean but i kept my composure for the most part, my bf was taking the most grief, but he understood why lol @babygirl10-11
