Birth story: They started pit at 5 am. I was doing fine til he broke my water at 6:30 am (3 cm). I sat on the birthing ball at 7:30-8:30 (5 cm) Got a small amount of pain meds. At 8:30. Got in the bath tub, which was amazing til 9:30. I got out an got some more pain med, (6-7 cm) got my epidural. Was still feeling pressure but did great. At 11 I felt like i was getting close. An I was 10 cm. my nurse helped me push on my own for 20 minutes. Waiting for the doctor....then pushed for 20 minutes. And had a baby at 11:59. Did not rip, I used the mirror which helped. And she lacked on and likes the boob :)
I watched her come out with a mirror. @phasion
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...






Got to the hospital at 4 am to start my pitocin, well.. I was put on the drip at 430 am , and was 4cm dilated and 80 percent effaced, an hour later. The nurse came in to check me, hours later, and I was at 6 cm. I got the epidural at 6cm.. But it didn't work for me, no more than 20 minutes later, I couldn't take the pain, I was screaming and crying.. And felt everything.. most terrible pain ever, I called for my nurse to come in and she checked me again, said I was ready to deliver, babys head ...
I have a low tolerance of pain so I’m screwed either way 😂 but I am going to get through a natural birth no matter what!
Quick question: Are the contractions or pushing the most painful?
I’ve felt contractions with my first and omg. But I didn’t experience the pushing. He was way to tiny.

Sapphire was born at 8:03pm. Started cervidil last night at about 10pm. It increased my contractions and by this morning I went from 1cm and 75% effaced to 4cm and 90% effaced. So we decided to hold off on anything and monitor me and see what my body did. 2 1/2 hrs they checked me and I went to 6cm and 100% effaced. They broke my water and by around 7:30 was ready to push. I pushed for 20 mins and she came into the world crying with her eyes wide open. 5lbs 11oz 19inches long. No pain meds and a...
