lol true it's scary I have mini panic attacks about it sometimes but it will be worth it😊

oh okay lol yeah I'm due the 17th but like I said I don't want her daddy to miss it so we are planning on the 15th or 16th which isn't too bad :) now I just have to get over being terrified lol

I just updated it lol I forgot to do it a couple weeks ago! 😊 @wrd2016

no they changed my due date to the 17th 😊

that makes since! and I was just looking at your profile lol it says your due the 23rd of Feb right?

@wrd2016, we have the same due date lol

@wrd2016,

I haven't done it yet lol I will in a month or so I'm just adimit and won't get an epidural I'm going to stay home as long as possible and relax and take a bath maybe go walking you have to occupy yourself with other things

yeah I don't think I could do it without an epidural lol I wish I was strong enough but I just don't think I can. I'm already in pain just from spreading lol and I got checked at the hospital yesterday and it hurt sooo bad! I haven't had sex in 5 or so months and so she couldn't even get to my cervix lol I'm scared that me not having sex is going to make it hurt more bc it's tight 😂 but the nurse told me my body would take care of it and spread like it needs too, but I'm terrified. my mom also thinks that I shouldn't do the epidural bc I've had 5 kidney stones and said if I can handle that pain then I can handle natural childbirth, but that crap hurt, I'm still too scared to do it natural. and I feel like I'm so nervous already and I just don't want to be in so much pain that I can't even remember or enjoy the time. the last time I had a kidney stone, I was already unknowingly passing it before I got to the hospital and I don't even remember the day bc I was in so much pain.. lol maybe I'm just setting myself up I guess and making myself nervous lol but good for you mama for being able to do it the natural way :)

@wyatts_mommy_0106, you definitely should look into it you feel better afterwards to your all there and the recovery is faster and you can walk right away there's a lot of pros to it! I'm excited and can't wait to experience it as crazy as that sounds but I know it will be worth it @wyatts_mommy_0106

I wish I would have did my research as you did I plan on trying natural with my next in 4 years and I can educate myself so I can experience that. yeah that's what I have heard

@wyatts_mommy_0106, yeah when you're induced your contractions are worse & @ketymrtnz you were so close!! I just don't like the thought of people getting epidurals hours before baby is delievered cause it lowers there heart rate and I heard women are more likely to tear with epidural cause they can't feel when to push and yes everyone has different pain levels I know I have a high one and @wrd2016 that's not bad momma and youre doing what you think is best for you and your little one all circumstances are different like I said you shouldn't torture yourself if you're in that much pain I heard being Induced intensifies your contractions, I personally won't get an epidural cause I've done a lot of research on it, and I know how to channel my pain but everyone is entitled to what they want to do with there body these are just my views

I am being induced, but only 1 or 2 days before I'm 40 weeks, and the only reason I am is because my daughter's father supports us and works out of town, he will be 14 hrs away from me and we need a set date so that he doesn't miss it, I wouldn't wanna get induced too early though. I've seen a lot of women only 36 weeks talking about trying to get the baby to come... I wouldn't bc I really want her to be as healthy as possible, but everyone has there own opinions so I can't judge.. I do plan on an epidural though, bc I don't handle pain well AT ALL, and I'm so small I'm afraid it's going to hurt like hell, on my dad's side of the family was all 11-14 lb baby's and I don't want to take a chance on her being big and not being able to handle it.. but I wish I could handle it lol

Epidural is not for everyone, but I was in labor for 11 hours and couldn't take the pain anymore. Everyone has their own pain tolerance level. I agree with you o. being induced early for no reason is horrible, but not with the epidural, but to each is their own. Before my daughter I was going all natural and held as much as I could, but once those pains got dark as hell, I couldn't take it lol at 8cm I got it and I was right there 😂

ooh yeah. I told them I wanted the epidural but I was set on trying natural cause my son was born at 35 weeks so I knew he wouldn't be bigger than 5-6 pounds but I had to be induced cause my water broke but my body wasn't contracting or dilating but once they gave me pitcon like 5 hours later my contractions was 2-3 seconds a part lasting 30 seconds to a min I was screaming for the epidural. I applaud the women able to do.it without drugs
