@delilahsmommy2.22, that is all that matters! :)

it was horrible lol. & I was that person that wanted med free natural birth. it could not have gone any different than I wanted lol but its ok because me and my little girl are healthy and happy 😊

Oh my..... that seems like the most worst expirience ever @delilahsmommy2.22 that is crazy

I didn't get iv meds I went straight for epi. I did 2 days and 17 hrs of unmedicated then gave up. I was exhausted from no sleep, no food, puking. it was a horrible experience. but I knew the iv meds would make things worse. I'm so glad I got the epi instead. I had to get a c section anyway, 9.7lb baby lol. she was bumping my cervix making it swell instead of dilate. but I remember everything clear as day!

@delilahsmommy2.22, I remember the iv meds they gave me with preterm, and agree with you!!!! those are crazy!!!!!! I felt like I was hot and kept hallucinating. I think it was called stadal????

just some advice, try your best BUT if you do decide to take meds go straight for the epi. because the iv meds make you loopy and you won't remember the birth as clear. the epi is just a spinal block so it won't mess with your cognitive function.

@blessedmommy, hell ya! your mom is a strong woman

I tried and I failed lol but my mom did with three babies

@ksmith814, I am right there with ya! I ain't gunna kill myself!

I'm going to attempt it but am open to medications if I feel the need and ask for them.

😄😄😉😘

good luck to you too @queenquee

I'm afraid that was another reason my son got stuck.

@parkers_mommy, you look small statured so it's very possible. and they used the suction cup on my boy. I think that's another reason I want to go natural with this one. Women who have a an epidural are desensitized as it is supose to be like that, but can cause the woman not to push as hard as they can which causes the need for forceps, suction cup, and vaccum.

oh ok then I understand what u mean. and im excited too. well good luck😃

@malachaismommy, my son was only 6 pounds so idk how someone so tiny got stuck lol he had to be vacuumed out 😳

@queenquee, I'm not sure if it is that they are strong or just shocking, because it is an unfamiliar feeling. either way I am excited. :)

with my first it wasn't that bad, with my second I forgot to breath. they say every pregnancy get harder. idk how true that is but my second one was terrible.. and dam if your braxton Hicks that strong just imagine real contractions

@stevesgirl8414, that's cool! good for you girl!!!!

@queenquee, that's for you ^

@qmy contractions with my son didnt.... but these braxton hicks I have with my daughter take my breath away, I felt like it was the weirdest thing in the world...

Just natural breathing classes. Going for a self hypnotic style.

@stevesgirl8414, are you taking any birthing classes?

@parkers_mommy, my son got stuck too!!!! he was almost 10 pounds haha

Contractions... That's the worse part. They take your breath away.

@queenquee, What part was worse for you? crowning or contractions?

I'm planning a natural unmedicated... I hope I can make it through it.

I had an epidural & it wore off so fast so my labor was completely natural.... I was telling everyone I couldn't do it & I wish I would've had the emergency c section but my son was also stuck under my pelvic bone & I think that made it a little worse. if you want to do it I say go for it, you can always change your mind at a certain point & get an epidural. my BF made me get one so I could sleep but it only lasted a couple hours 😫

I Went Natural w. all mine.. 😄 and with this baby if I have a vaginal delivery I will go natural again. the pain is a bitch, but its worth it. 😉😉

@lorly04, me to hun!!! I am very scared lol

I am hoping to but I'm pretty nervous about it.

The epidural that I was given after the first 6 hours of labor with my son stopped working around my underneath area when he was coming out. is it more painful to have the stretching feeling down there, or is the contractions more painful? What is your opinion?

I had a simular expirience, when I went to the hospital to have my labor induced with my son, they popped my water in the very beginning. and would not allow me out of bed so I had to lay there, 6 hours I was unmedicated. I feel like it will be a lot more bearable if I am allowed to move around my house for the beginning of labor instead of being bed bound like I was at the hospital. therefore, I plan to stay at home for the beginning of my labor, or until my water breaks

I have had one natural without a choice, and I'd say it was definitely painful, but I feel like if I can do it anyone can! But I also plan to go on medication this pregnancy, if that tells you anything. Lol
