Seeing so many moms doing natural births is really motivating for me. I don't want an epidural, but…

That's how I'm feeling. I don't plan on getting one, but, if it's unbearable pain, I'm open to getting one lol

I was thinking of doing the laughing gas that way I won't risk anything with epidural

I'm gonna go as long as I can without it but I'm still going to get one. my doctor said that they'll give it to me even I'm dilated to an 8

That's how I am. I have it ordered but I don't want it, but that could change. Have it ordered just in case cause if not you might not be able to get one.

@poiiiisonivey, @nessa_475 @arijane316 @shananaginsx yeap I'm keeping an open mind. I know what I plan to do for my pain but Im gonna make make a birth plan now even though I didn't want to at first.

@shananaginsx, and how you do order an epidural? I thought you could request it at any time during labor

My doctor told me to order it, like they write it down in your file. Otherwise the anethesisiogist might leave. Talk to your doctor about it. They ask me every damn time. Lol.

@shananaginsx, oh okay, I am telling her I'd like to go ahead and make a birth plan to let the staff know some general wants of mine. The anesthesiologist at our hospital is 24 hours, but I'll see what she says lol. Thanks hun!

Yes! Just make sure, you don't wanna be out of luck. Lol. I know they always ask and I always tell them I don't know yet. Just make sure they know ahead of time like now so it can be in your information incase the birth plan doesn't get followed.

@shananaginsx, definitely! I'm only making one because I don't want them doing things I don't appreciate lol. I found a good birth plan template on the bump.com so I printed it and I'm going to give that to her tomorrow and giving one to the hospital.

Yeah I still have to do that. I just know mine asks me every time. Haha. I know I wanna do it natural but this is my first time so I don't know what to expect so just incase. 😁
