what are your opinions on not having a epidural ? what was it like for you ? what was it like…

No Epidural with my first & don't plan on getting one with my second which I'll be having soon. It hurt obviously but I mean, it's labor what do you expect. Lol. The only thing I was thinking of was pushing my baby out that way I can quit feeling contractions! Lol!! After labor I felt great! Just a little sore down there but I was able to walk & move around.

I was induced with my first and absolutely needed the epidural. If I do not get induced this time I may not get one.

I haven't had an epidural. 1st baby was all natural and my twins I had a spinal since I needed a c-section. There is nothing wrong with getting one though if you feel that you need it.

I heard getting one makes you less aware after the fact , is that true ?@lelizabeth @mummm @inkedmamaof4

If you're on the fence about epidural or not, I highly recommend watching the business of being born on Netflix! That made me really decide not to get one

I planned on having no epidural...until the pain was so horrible! I couldn't stop throwing up & my body wouldn't relax so I wasn't dilating! I finally gave in to getting the epidural & it took every bit of pain away & sped up my labor...had my baby very shortly after!

It didn't make me less aware, I remember everything of his birth. I just couldn't walk for like 2 hours after, but honestly didn't want to anyways lol If you think it will help you relax I would recommend it, but everyone is different! @bkrettler11497

I agree with @kellynicole, I am doing everything different now because of watching it :)

just remember whatever you put into your body, baby gets also. even pain meds.
