I wanted to try to go natural, but contractions are no joke! And I couldn't help but fight them even when I tried not too. So the epidural helped with making progress dialating etc. and it was a god send at that point. I give many kudos to women who go natural!

@alana_sunshine, I did, and thank you!

@alana_sunshine, I don't know about other women but for me pushing him out was less painful than the contractions, I didn't feel myself tear or getting stitches.

@alana_sunshine, same same !!! I saw one that looked it pretty disturbing it actually showed when placenta was removed and the doctor put his whole fist inside to check any residuals that got me scared the most

@alana_sunshine, yes lol I've seen them before but now I'm so close to my due date I'm like Damm what did I get myself into😂😂don't get me wrong I'm happy but ugh it looks fucking painful and scary
