I thought about having a natural birth for a little bit but My mother asked me to get an epidural because she had me natural and we both died for several minutes, they barely got either of us back, and she doesn't want me to go through anything like that, so I started looking into epidurals and I made the decision to get one, because I don't handle pain well anyway. Well my SO'S mom asked me last night what I was planning on doing and I told her I was going to get an epidural and she like flipped the fuck out on me because "she had all of her kids natural and I need to quit being such a selfish bitch and worry more about my child than myself." I was speechless.
I would love to flip the fuck out on her but she's dying as it is and My SO begs me to be nice to her. He tries to talk to her but the old witch is stuck in her hateful ways.
I would of flip my shit girl . I will be damn . your body YOUR child you do what you please YOU know what you CAN handle not everyobe else . she needs to watch how she talks to you bc I'll be damn if I let someone as disrespectful as her around my child . ha my mother in law knows better not to cross that damn line with me. @babyhorton16
People will always have something to say. Do what you feel will be best. And you may change your mind or circumstances may not allow one way or the other. There is always a risk with any kind of anesthesia, but just because something happened to your mom doesn't mean it will happen to you.
Wow all around. MILs get weird sometimes about that stuff. I'm sorry she flipped out on you! And I have no idea what your mom went through, but I can't imagine how having an epidural would keep that from happening to you? Either way, do what you're comfortable with girl.
I was just in shock. I've had people hint that natural birth is what your body is made for and that I should try it, but nobody has talked to me like that.
@babyhorton16, Honestly it's not any of your mother in laws business its your body not hers
Fuck that! I'm sorry but that is SO unbelievably disrespectful to you! It's YOUR baby, YOUR body, YOUR decision! It's none of her god damn business. I would be livid girl!
