What are my other options if I don't want to do an epidural? Could you ladies comment your…

Following :)

I also want to know

None it really depends on how high of a pain tolerance u have I choose none cause a lot of the time they can slow your contractions and set u back so I just said lets get it done as fast as possible

@jjmom12345678, & the pain was bearable? tell me more!

@jjmom12345678 is absolutely right. I personally have an abnormally high pain tolerance and I'd prefer no medicine period because the possible consequences out weight my pain to me. So I'm going completely natural. No pain meds at all, God Willing.

I really would like to go natural tbh @jjmom12345678 @kristenrosasco .

To me it was like period cramps just ten times worse I didn't scream I walked around didn't really let them bother me the more u stress the more it gets to u just focus on other things and it will all go fine once it got 4 cm I started dialating pretty fast the nurses were surprised they were getting ready to send me home I said no check me again so they did and I was at a ten and his head was crowning I old them anything that's going to make my labor slow down nope I would rather go through the pain if they offer u the shower that helps quite a bit also

I'd suggest the book mindful birthing. It is teaching me a lot and making me feel more prepared than ever to work with the pain rather than against it. I'm surprisingly excited for labor rather than worried/scared/anxious. Preparation is key. (Or so I've heard. I haven't given birth yet so I'll get back to you on that lol)

I walked around and talked to people I really didn't even realize I was having contractions until o got home from running the roads and had to be rushed to the hospital

I'll definitely look into that book and read it if I'm able to snag it in time and I'd really like to go natural as well. <3 I think I'll opt to do so. @jjmom12345678 @kristenrosasco
