Thank you ladies! I really like to hear personal stories. I think I can do it. I hope I can. Just gotta make myself believe I got this. I know our bodies were made to do these fascinating things. I really hope I can do it!

good luck. I had one natural, will never again. foe one of them only my left side was numb. epidural only completely numbed me for my first kid. I've had 5 and felt all types of pain.

well I labored for two days at home so I guess I was in labor alot longer if i count that.... but once my water broke at home she came three hrs later @rlcorreia123

i will tell you though, once i pushed that placenta outi felt like a brand new woman. lol

yeah, my labor was 15 hours. lol @mdomke22

well I had to go natural not by choice bcuz my daughter came too fast lol but to be honest I liked having the people I cared about most in the room with me cuz every contraction I needed a hand to squeeze. but yes what to you need to remember is that the pain is only temporary and the amount of relief you feel once they're out is so amazing.....I would do it all over again lol but if there are classes Def take them...I would have Def got the epidural if my labor would have been longer then 3 hrs lol. but if the classes have pain relief methods Def look into that

don't be afraid or ashamed of pain relief methods. i had this image of natural labor in my head until my water broke and they hooked me up to pictocin to speed my labor along. one i was on that pictocin i was begging for the epidural. lol

Definitely take the classes I didn't and really wish I did. Just remember the pain is temporarily once you have your lil one it literally dissappears. oh and do not have a ton of ppl in the room you need to focus having a ton ppl ask if you are ok is not cool.
