Some chick on my November birth board said that if you get an epidural, it is admitting that you are not strong enough…

she needs several seats

dont listen. im getting one.

thays so bs. I finally got the epidural with my last baby. all my others where natural. I think it was stronger for me to get the pain medication lol. cause I'm deathly scared of needles lol.

bullshit! I HAD to get one to speed things up. some say it has the opposite effects but we tried it & it worked up to progress me & then half way through it wore off & I had him natural from that point.

Oh wow...that's crazy I do t wAnt one , not because I'm super strong I just don't like what it does to the labor process but it doesn't make u any less of a women because you actually have one ...the medicine is readily available so that you can be as comfortable as possible for your experience...F HER

I have had 1 non medicated and 3 epis. I chose epis again for the final.

*dont

Then she should go give birth in the wilderness where there's no medical intervention at all. Let's see how she feels about that!!!

had 1 with my first and will have another one in 8 weeks can't wait

^^ I agree with @babyn2015

I'm like bih.. if you don't shut up. I honestly felt no different from my medicated and non-medicated births. I pushed a baby out my vagina, and I was on a high after each birth!

To a certain degree that's true. but I didn't care lol. I Know my pain tolerance level and it ain't .that high. I wasn't strong enough to go all natural and I'm fine with that

How obnoxious. Epidurals are great. Not for everyone, or every birth, but that's just irritating when people judge over such a thing.

honestly If I don't have to go to the hospital I wont.. I agree to an extent our bodies where made to give birth... I have no intention on epidurals or IV'S or anything..

I say why go through the pain if you don't have to. I wouldn't go get a root canal without anesthesia. That don't hardly make me any less of a woman. With my first pregnancy I went natural and I will never do that again....p***y felt like it was on fire. I'm good

lol @calliesmith right! I've done both, I'm choosing an epidural again.

@expecting_yanna15 I know that's right!
