mine was short when contractions got intense. it's not that fun lol. but I did it 3 times. they get way more painful when you hit 6cm. ugh. but it's all worth it.

Both of my last two pregnancy I went natural not by choice but I went into labor very fast and contractions hurt like a mother fucker period cramps my ass. They are very painful and very entense but once you have the baby its relieve and its easier to actually recuperate faster then with drugs the second day after I came home after having my daughter I was cleaning my house while taking care of my newborn and my family

I went through two births all natural. It is of course painful but if you go in with the mindset that no matter what you aren't going to get the epidural and stay calm then I believe anyone can do it. The thing that helped me is 1. I'm terrified of needles 2. The way I saw it, why risk having complications with your back for possibly the rest of your life when if you just had bad pains for a few hours and then your done! You don't have to worry about risking your back hurting forever for just a few hours of pain relief. I know so many people who have back pains all their lives from the epidural. The pain from labor doesn't last forever. Those are the things I told myself that helped me through labor without help. I know it won't work for everyone but it worked great for me!

I am a first time mommy and i went all NATURAL and i had no classes or anything and my experience was not bad at all! I went past my due date and was supposed to be induced but the night i went in i started to have contractions on my own and deivered that same night. Im not going to lie it hurt like hell bt i didnt give in! And also i pushed for maybe not even 15minz and she was here. My contractions were not that bad until my water broke bt at tht point evrything moved so quickly and before i knew it i was holding my baby girl. I would recomment for anyone to try all NATURAL and i kno not evryone is the same and evryone is diffrent bt thats just my experience and it was not as horrible as i tought it would be. Not guna lie at a point i tought about the epidural bt i didnt take it ☺️ if u have any more questions u can msg me☺️ and good luck mama

I would say my labor was pretty short n push Time shorter..I would advise Lamaze classes because a near the end contractions get longer n stronger so the breathing techniques will help you a lot...but I felt great after just a little sore from the pressure
