My midwife asked me had I thought about the birth and what type of birth I'd like.. I think I'm swinging towards a water birth! What about you ladies ? What birth are you going for? Any of you had a water birth before? People are telling me to go for as little pain relief As possible, but I'm terrible with pain in general lol! So many decisions 😩😁
I started off in the birthing pool but wasn't very comfortable so got out, ended up on a drip and having epidural although I only wanted gas and air xx
water births are definitely better I think. It's more relaxing and I just used gas and air. Not going to lie though I screamed a lot when I was in labour both times but it kinda helps with the pain lol. I don't have a high pain tolerance at all xx
I've heard water birth is great pain relief, I'm already so terrified about the pain! Even before being pregnant I was always worrying about how painful labour would be lol! I know some people think have no pain relief is best, but I think I'll take all I can have 😂🙊 good luck though ladies 😘
im hoping for water birth this time. last time i wanted one and got in and the relief was great, but then the midwife wasnt sure if my front or back waters had gone so had to get out for examination and then i couldnt get back in coz of too much pain lol. did it all with just gas and air though in the end :)
I have just started thinking about what I want for the birth but I am sooo confused one day I think I want an epidural the other day I want a water birth and sometimes use tens machine lol
I had a water birth and honestly it was the best thing ever! X
