I wanted the epidural because I can not deal with pain but I was fully dilated when they came to give me it. The pain is real, the contractions become so intense no position is comfy, i didnt want my bf or my mom to help me because i didnt want to be touched nor talked to or even stood near. then the pain of pushing just burns and they wanted me to push through the pain. its the worst pain i've ever felt in my life, both the contractions & giving birth. NEVER AGAIN! LOL but as soon as your holding your little one you forget all about the pain you just endured
of course. and if u have to have it I think you'll do fine the pain from contractions are 1000 times worse than the needle just don't look while they get it ready nd remember to breathe
Thank you I'm so scarred about it. I'm bad with needles to start off with! @kate0329
my epidural really wasn't bad just try and relax completely when the do it and do exactly what they say and you'll be fine if the have to do it . the worst part was the numbing but after that the rest was really easy
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
Think I asked this b4 but pros and cons to doing natural vs the epidural?!? 💉
Natural birth? stories/suggestions to get theu it. I'm going to have a natural birth this time around but I am a bit scared of the pain. I put no epidural on my birth plan and trying hard not to edit it LOL
Mom's that went natural no meds , was it painful? Or painful PAINFUL ? I got an epidural last time but I wanna go no meds...
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.
If you are wanting to go a more natural route, epidural isn't the only form of pain relief. I want to go no pain relief at all but it's my first and I don't knew how this is going to go and I know that the laughing gas is my best option. It is short term... You can use up to the pushing phase, you can use it when you want and it also doesn't affect the baby or your ability to move around. I don't want the epidural because tampering with my spine scares me, and I don't see the point of going through pain to get rid of pain. I have nothing against people who use the epidural! But i suggest taking a labour and delivery class or at least discussing your pain control options. For me the gas is the best option cause it doesn't affect your baby!
