Is anyone having their baby natural? Why have you opted out of the epidural?

oh man smh

I can say, I enjoyed being painless! lol. the only thing that worried me is they had to pull him out with a suction, a week later he had a seizure. but nothing since, he's almost one. I just wouldn't recommend getting a high dosage of medicine. they gave me medicine through an I.V before the epidural. another dose of that and I would have been fine.

@mrs.shorb., i dont want to feel anything lol my bf has a big head im nervous

I had the edidural. I could still mother my son, we had a great connection, always have. BUT I regret it because i couldn't push. at all. I couldn't feel ANYTHING.

Going natural I do not believe in medicine

me. my mom had a bad one and it went upwards instead of down and I hate needles and I don't want to be all drugged up and need help to hold him

I've heard there is a better connection during birth without the epidural

Going natural, there's other forms of pain relief. Epidurals can slow your contractions which can cause unnecessary interventions. I just figure we've millions of women have done it before me, I can handle it :) To each their own though!

Me! Because I always have the oddest symptoms of the medications!! And I'm telling myself everyday my body is made for this!
