I hate how my family and friends think I can't go through natural birth, and they say I wouldn't be able to handle the pain. Like dang! I may not be able to, but at least let me have that confidence that I did before you said I couldn't do it on my own without help of pain medicine.
I just have to think of mind over matter and I'll be okay.

I did it all natural and some people said they didn't think I could do it and I proved them wrong. You can do it.

I had two natural births, my first one was by choice, I didn't want the epidural and it didn't hurt at all. my second time, literally the second I asked for the epidural, my water broke and my sons head was already at the top, so I was too late for it. I hope to go natural this time again, but it is scary to think about once you've already felt the pain. you can do it, just try to be calm.

its so disappointing to have people give you negative feedback if you wanna go natural. what you need is support and positive thoughts. I'm going through the same thing. I plan to go natural and everyone that I say that to just tells me I'm stupid for wanting to do that and who do I have to prove anything to. I'm like don't worry about it. its not your birth its mine. and I will do it how I want it. its frustrating for sure. but don't let that change your mind. this is all about you and what's best for you

@kelseys, I've heard that pushing feels good and I just imagine the only pain would be the stretching of the vag and that just burns and the contractions and I've had the real contractions before at 22 weeks when my placenta ruptured a little so maybe if I imagine those two as the only pain I'll be going through as the worst then I could do it myself.
@mamabearluken yea, people always have something negative to say I'm just not going to let it get to me and if I do choose to have an epidural or I for some reason have to have a c section at least I'll know i tried to go natural. I'm not going to let their opinions put my decisions down and if they have something to say about it, they can leave.
Thank you all for the advice and making me feel more confident in myself 😊

the bag stretching is something I fear lol. last time I felt it, for the first time, I didn't feel it with my first and I had to stop pushing because I was so scared of feeling it rip.

@kelseys, I really hope ripping doesn't happen and I've been told some have to be cut from vag to butt and you don't feel it. yea no thank you lol, but if it happens, it happens I guess lol I just hope they don't tell me they are doing it because I'll expect it to hurt and then it will hurt.

I think they would tell you... I'm not sure. I ripped the first time but not the second. recovery for me after my first was so bad because of the rip, and the second time it was nothing, I was up and doing stuff in the hospital the same day lol. but you don't feel it rip, I just got scared because of the thought of it happening.
