Who else is giving birth natural? I ammmmm. 👋

@babyruckuss1921, me too! And I figured if I rally can't handle it the pain medicine is there as an option. But as long as I don't have to stay in 1 position I think I'll be ok

@schu35, exactly. afterall, WE'RE having them. I support anybody's decision. They want it that way for a reason.

@babyruckuss1921, that is scary with the issue you have with your back. I wouldn't want back surgery either because there's always that possibility something worse can happen. My pain tolerance is iffy but I tell myself this is what our bodies were designed to do. I have faith we can both have our babies naturally!:) I just wish people were more supportive.

@schu35, same here girl. I always get "you say that now" people really don't realize that my pain tolerance is INSANE. I'm not worried about it hurting. I'm worried about my back because when I was younger I had something puncture my spine and ALMOST paralyze me. I been offered surgeries but there's always that chance that shit wouldn't be the same after. I refused all of them. The slightest shift or hit to my back can fuck everything up in a matter of seconds. I KNOW I can handle it natural. I just like to hear people's experiences with it or why someone is choosing to do it.

I was going to but ended up not progressing after 26 hours of all-natural labor, so it was medically necessary to have a c-section due to increased possibility of a dry birth and infection.

I want to give birth all natural. When I tell people that they laugh at me and give me no encouragement at all.

@cubanese, yeah I heard the contractions are the absolute worse part. I'm so set on doing everything naturally. The whole 9 yards! VERY nervous though lol

I was going to try to do it with no epidural but I ended up having a c section so I had to get one. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be

@cubanese, you can message me if you want lol

@cubanese, were your contractions worse than the actual birthing part?

Congrats @riahlala3 💙💖💙💖

this is my third child first one was induced and had epidural, second water broke on its own and completely natural not even an iv, now this baby is due in September. ..we will see

@cubanese, did you have any issues after?

They told you you couldn't because of that @zeniyahsmommy I'm just curious. My sister has it and hers is bad and she's only a couple months behind me.

I CAN get an epidural if I want one but I have HORRIBLE back issues as it is. I know back problems may or may not come with or without an epidural, but I have a high pain tolerance and the thought of a epidural scares the fuck out of me with my back the way it is @riahlala3

I plan to
