I went into labor without a plan. the contractions hurt and they asked if I wanted an epidural and I said yeah I didn't have a plan so if my contractions got bad I'd get one, well I was only three cm when I got admitted and they told me they wouldn't give me an epidural until I was 5 cm, but within an hour I was 10 cm and I couldn't get one. I did not think pushing hurt at all and I couldn't even feel my contractions when I was pushing. But when I was transitioning from 7-10 those contractions hurt something awful, my whole body shook

@usmcwife, ok hope you get what you want

Because I have scoliosis and I've heard of them not being able to get it in the right spot or something like that. I haven't talked to my doctor about it yet @xxtrinityxx916

@usmcwife, the best of luck to you, why do you think you can't get an epidural?

@2queenbee9, @beccaevans @mommytoleo glad you had safe deliveries thank you

I'm hoping it will go well as a FTM I just feel like I'm going in blindfolded. Any techniques that made it at least a little less painful??

I plan on going natural and not getting an epidural. I'm not sure if I can even get one anyway but I'm going to try not to

It's painful but worth it , you'll get the baby out faster cause you will be able to fill every contraction (:

my first one that's all and I'm doing this one natural

I got an epidural and it wore off because my labor was long. the contractions are rough i won't lie and pushing naturally i screamed because it hurt but you will get through
