Sorry so late replying, but not really @paris824 only once, my doc gave me pills for constipation too.

@amandafikes, wow! You've had some experiences! I really want to try and do it naturally!

@paris824, I don't remember what it was called

This is my fifth pregnancy. I have four little boys already. My first son wouldn't come on his own so I was induced. I used pain medicines to try and help my two day labor. It helped but when I was fully dilated I was so numb from the epidural I couldn't push. The doctor tied my arms to a blanket from the ceiling and I pulled up. My son was born in three pull ups. Lol. My second son was a month early. I was at home mopping the floor, went to pee and felt him crowning. There wasn't time for medicine. My third son I was in labor for two hours and he was here. No medicines. My fourth son was a mess! The nurse said my water broke. I knew it didn't. She let me lay there for 11 hours without breaking my water. I was dilated to 9 and she didn't think maybe she was wrong. I couldn't take the pain. I got the IV drug. My doctor came in and was like "honey let's break that water and have us a baby!" My son was here in 18 minutes. Had the nurse listened I wouldn't have had medicine with the last one. Here's my feeling on numbing medicines. When you go to the dentist and they numb you, you leave feeling fine. You bite your lip at some point and it doesn't hurt much. Once that numbing wears off you feel that bite and it HURTS! It's the same thing with medicine when you are in labor. You don't realize what you are doing to your body until you aren't numb anymore. My recovery time for the ones with medicine was longer than the two without.

@babybluntsmommy, do they make you constipated?

Ahh I'm anemic too and have to take iron pills 😞 @paris824

@aphrodite2014, agreed!

@ashley07, so there is something you can take to help, do you know what those meds were called??

@babybluntsmommy, that's how I am. When the doctor prescribed meds for my headache and low iron I complains and refused to take them... They kept telling me they're supplements not meds. But it's a must for me to take them if I want to remain healthy enough to carry my baby because I'm anemic

@paris824, yes that's what I've hurd too and if they mess Up they could permanently paralyze you.. it's not a risk I'm willing to take.. I'll Cope with the pain

@tayek, sooooooo exciting!!! Congrats!! I have to go a month longer than you, a little jelly I am lol.

@aphrodite2014, a lot of people I know complain about how it messed their backs up 😩

A couple hours

@ashley07, how long after your shot wore off did you deliver?

I done natural and plan to do it again they gave me a shot that helped with the pain so I could rest but it only lasted and hour
