for those mama's who had vaginal births or plan to. epidural or natural? why? I did epidural with my first,not with my…

I had one with my first because I was terrified because at that time the swin flu was going around and you were only allowed one person with you in the room and I couldn't have my mom. I didn't have one with my second I was p!anning in not having one with my third but I was induced and the stupid nurses at the hospital upped my pitocine so much my contractions were back to back without a break. I'm going to try to do number four with no epidural.

well once I started to dilate it went pretty fast but it took some time lol twins are fun, a handful and keep ya busy but fun

I had 3 natural births and planning on having an epidural this time to give my body a break.

had an epidural with my first, definitely plan on it again.

oh its VEEY painful but recovery is so much easier. in my opinion. however. my births are quick. if I was in labor for more than 6 hours...epidural all lol the way

I plan on getting it when I absolutely cannot stand the pain anymore. it probably won't take much tho because when it comes to my back, I have a very low pain tolerance

I did an epidural with all of mine but with my third baby I had to get and epidural and spinal tap because by the time I got back to the hospital after being sent home at 5 and 1/2 cm and contractions every 4 minutes I was 9 and 1/2 cm and I have scoliosis really bad. My friend had a natural birth and she said it was painful.

@twinmamma2015, I wish I could have twins. yeah I think I'd stick to the epidural with two. haha I'm such a baby when it comes to pain but my first three were fast labors

I wasn't going to but with twins when your in the bed you can't get up and walk around cuz they can't monitor both babies heartbeats so I was stuck in the bed and after they explained to me a breech extraction and that was how they were gonna get baby B out, I was like yup where do I sign for the epidural! lol! although the anesthesiologist had unhooked it thinking I was done but didn't realize I had another baby coming out and I could feel them trying to pull him out so they gave me pain meds in my IV. it was rather uncomfortable lol. if I were to have a single baby I wouldn't do an epidural though.
