Alright mommies, I'm really wanting to do an all natural birth (if baby allows of course) and was wanting tips,…

I did it. Literally within a few hours after birth I thought 'that wasn't so bad, id do it again!' I mean it was horrible pain but I was able to breathe through then contractions with the support of my wonderful husband and the nurses were great! I didn't tear but had a very small cut that needed a single stitch (from them stretching me I assume. It was way up- no where near where baby came out) and the numbing shot was the worst I remember now haha. I only pushed 8-10 times and my little cub was born!

I've had both of my children natural and I plan on doing it with this baby as well, it is not so bad. by the time the pain was intolerable it was time for me to push.

I've had 2 with an epidural and 1 natural. I plan to go natural this time around. Yes the epidural helps with the pain at the moment but it's the after effect that's keeping me away. That back pain is no joke! My natural labor was no joke either but I didn't have any adverse affects from it. Just try to remember your breathing and don't freak out if you can. The more I moved the better I was able to handle it. My contractions didn't bother me as much as the pushing did.

My husband and I had wanted to prepare by taking a Lamaze type class, but we were too late to sign up. We ended up hiring a doula. She helped give suggestions on positions and helped give counter pressure on my lower back/ hip area. I was undecided on wether I wanted an epidural. I was close to getting one, but thankfully my labor was relatively short. (No symptoms to baby in 7 hours).

oh no I couldn't do it I was crying at 3 min apart . I tried I couldn't take the pain the thing is you never know what's going to happen so That's why I got the epidural . they had to cut a slit so my son could come out. I'm glad I didn't go natural . more power to u ladies🙌👶

@mommy_honey, @sexxymama83 @mrs.meow @carlitojrmami @jjbutton I want to do it natural because of the after effects of the epidural! I want to be able to feel everything and be able to push, and I know with an epidural a lot of times it makes it harder for mom to push. Plus the added medicine going to the baby is not something I want! I've read up on tips, like moving and massages, that tend to help during labor without medicine. I wasn't sure if a doula was worth it, as I don't really want anyone else in the room besides me and daddy. Did any of you get to take a class before the before?

No I didn't. Well my natural birth was my 3rd but first Lol. But I did t take any classes. I just told myself everyday that I was going to do it naturally. Trying to do the mind over matter thing Lol. I didn't use a doula either. I just told my hubby what I wanted when I wanted it and we were okay

@sexxymama83, that's me! I talk about doing it daily! I feel like I can psych myself out and it won't be as bad! I just really want to experience the whole hand naturally!

Yes it is definitely a good experience. That numb feeling is no joke. And you also take the risk of it not working or half way working smh. Some women have to get stuck more than once........ In their spine! No thanks I'll pass.

@jwalkn4, I took a Lamaze class with my husband. To me it helped prepare with giving us breathing techniques and positions with a birthing ball. Plus they showed daddy good ways to massage and also what to expect during labor. Well worth the time
