Im just afraid to go into labor .. i know nothing about how it feels 😂 & people say epidural isn't…

i know theres like no way out lmaooo i feel trapped im scared too

lol girl i can just picture how crazy ima be going in that hospital room 😂😂😂 @julissalarinaa

they have other pain management options too! :)

its my first too so im nervous!! the way other women talk about the pain i get overwhelmed smh

like what @mylittleprincess

yes they say contractions are 50× worst than periods lol @julissalarinaa

your doctor hasn't gone over them all with you yet ? 😮 there's IVs and other ways. I dont remember all the ways he told me. I was kinda set on epidural lol.

no but ill ask next time i go

I had an all natural birth with my first and csection with my twins.. Obviously had an epidural with my twins and I have no back problems. It depends on how good the doctor who puts it in is... Do not and I mean do not let them have a student do it... My friend did and she was poked like 5 times before they got it right.

oh wow ! Yeah i wont thats horrible @tvaine2016

but they say later on in life you have these back problems. not right after @tvaine2016

honestly, I'm a HUGE baby, I stub my toe and I cry.

I had my daughter all natural, no epidural, I had IV meds, (nubain) & it knocked me out from 3-10 cm,

i was admitted at 1 cm 50%, they gave me a vaginal insert that was supposed to only help open my cervix more so that could induce me, but 1 in 4 women go into active labor with the insert, and I happened to have been that lucky 1 in 4! lol. so I felt EVERYTHING, yes, the contractions do hurt. but they are not the worst pain I've ever felt, and like I said I'm a HUGE baby. Honestly, I have a tattoo on my left forearm that some goes on my wrist, and him tattooing my wrist hurts way worse than the contractions...

I had mine almost 7 years ago... No problems as of yet. Again it depends on how good the doctor is who puts it in.

I've had 2 epidurals 9 and 12 years ago and I'm fine and I'm getting another 1 with this baby

I had an epidural but it didn't work on me because I got it to late. But once I felt my contractions I didn't run to the hospital rite away. I took a nice warm bath and that helps a lot. And as soon as I would feel it again I would just breath in and out. But when ur baby comes out all the pain disappears. It's amazing what our bodies are capable of.

good luck. I had a edipural and I believe it's about the doctor as well. I e heard bad things about it but shit when I felt those contractions was i HAPPIER THAN EVER THAT I GOT THE EPIDURAL....... i can't imagine labor without it. in regards to other pain management optioms, I wouldn't take anything through the IV cuz it will make the baby drowsy and can slow up the labor process and then ur baby come out all drugged up. that's what I heard in my child birth education class anyway.
