Im also scared of needles and I don't want to feel all druggy when my child gets here I saw my sister with both of hers and she was in a different world and I want to breastfeed I don't want to be to out of it to feed my child.

I went natural with all four of my children just because I'm scared of needles . its not easy once those contractions hit .

FTM and really hoping to go with out one. can't say 100% that I won't but it's my goal

there are always pain thins you can take

@hermommy, thank you just very scared to know it won't be there and the fear of how much pain its going to be lol I'm a big baby

I'm going natural not even ordering the epidural so it wont be an option. your built for this you got it:)

I always get it I have a low tolerance for pain so a natural birth for me is out the question unless it's necessary

I already had back problems @mommy2b0918 it didn't make it worse tho

Do you have any back problems from it now @carlitojrmami

@mommy2b0918, not everyone react to the epidural the same way. I didn't feel it at all

I'm a first time mom as well, 39 weeks. And I am going natural. I want to be able to move freely during labor. But I am also someone who doesn't take medication unless it's absolutely necessary. The way I look at it is the pain may be terrible, but it won't last forever.

I'm not that great with pain and I know once I start I'll probably want something and then it'll be too late I just know I don't want it in my back ive heard nothing but bad from it @carlitojrmami

if you believe you can go for it
