ftm ! I was planning on getting a epidural but now I'm a little more conscious of it's scary risks..…

It wasnt as bad as i thought , it did hurt going in you felt it , but after that you will be good i felt nothing! 🙌🏾

I say decide the day of 😄 I wanted to go all natural but then when I was 7-8cm dilated, the contractions were horrible and I went 24 hours without sleeping. That epidural was life lol it made me relax and I had the baby 2 hours later after 9 hours in labor lol

I got it with my daughter and now my back is always hurting. I'm planning not to get it with this babu

I mean I had 30 hrs labor it did help bc I had bad contractions. But then at the end of the day I have bad pains now

Totally creeping on your page since you popped up on my timeline.. Anyway, I vaginally delivered my twins and opted out of the epidural and I'm glad I did! Reaching 9 and 10cm I definitely felt like the pain meds I chose weren't enough but I just pushed through it. I loved being able to get up and be moving after I delivered them. (I was given Dilaudid through my IV)

thank you for your comment !! this is something I still ask myself daily lol @i.xvi.mmxvi

You're welcome :) I'm determined to have my next birth without the epidural, and I think I'll be a little upset if I do end up getting it.

hopefully a csection isn't in my near future , but if I go vaginally , I will definitely try to stay away from the epi. @i.xvi.mmxvi

I feel you. I never want a cesarean. I've heard the healing process is awful. 😩

I've heard the same 😥 but whatever is safest for her , I'll do it 😊 @i.xvi.mmxvi

Exactly. I'll do anything for my babies.
