.... why do I feel like I'd be judged if I got an epidural..

Because people probably will judge. But do what you think is best. You know your body and your limits. Listen to your body.

I wouldn't be worried about what anyone has to say if you feel like you need it get it baby

you know your body and what you can handle, if you need it than get it, personally I know I'm getting one I've have it with all my kids.

do what you want if you can handle it go for it if you cant than that's perfectly fine. i want to do all natural but if the pain gets bad i want an epidural.

these contractions are a lot stronger than my first delivery which was natural. @amberino @liveitwithlove @mrshamilton830 @tortor4894

get the epidural if you need it, bebe. fuck everyone else and third judgement. it's not their child and it's not their delivery. it's YOURS. and yours only. if you need it. get it. if you can push through it, then push through it. I wish I was up there with you right now. I really do. I'm doing nothing but laying in bed ATM and been thinking about you all morning! you GOT this, boo.

@gypsy.soul2, sound like you need to get it

I have had three, and no one has judged. If they do just ignore them.

My second labor was wayyy worse than my first but I had epidurals with both and definitely having one this time too. I dont see anything wrong with it. If it was hurting the baby it wouldnt be an option. It will actually help you dilate faster too cause you will be able to relax.

second delivery is a lot harder. even the after contractions. breastfeeding felt like I was back in labor because they were so strong. you need your energy for pushing, if you need it, don't hesitate or worry. nurses deliver Crack babies, an epidural isn't anything to them

As long as you deliver your little one safely it doesn't matter if you had an epidural or not or had a C-section or not. Just worry about your precious bundle and not the thoughts of others :)

Because no matter what you do in life, you'll be judged. For every little thing. Just do what you feel most comfortable with and say Fuck You to the naysayers

You might be projecting your feelings onto others. Especially if a natural birth was important to you. Listen to your body. This baby could be in a more difficult position.

do what u feel u need to do. don't worry about anyone else

Y would ppl judge u ?

thanks k you guys!!! my strength right now is yall lol and my SO @amberino @anthonysmommie080116 @babyrhea16 @emily18234 @liveitwithlove @melinda89 @paisleysmom @xbbycolletto @sweeteysmc @s_r_z_15

they don't know how dilated I am bc my bags in the way but I think I'm gonna get the epidural..

Girl get it don't put urself thru that pain

like I said. you know how to get a hold of me! if need be, I can always find someone to bring me to you if you need it. :) hang in there, do what you gotta do, and get that little dude here! then I'll do the same Tuesday and we'll have our babies and they can have all the play days the need and all

Do what feels right for you! It's your life your experience! You can also ask for a IV pain med did wonders for me.

you gotta do what's best for you. I'm 100% against it for myself, but not every momma wants to feel that pain. you do what makes you feel good. no judgment here

Well I'm here for anyone.

Don't let people influence you getting an epidural or not. People are so rude always being judgmental about everything! Your baby, body and decision my dear!
