Okay ladies, so I've decided that I don't want an epidural during my labor. No medications, as I've heard and read that it can cause so many problems for me and baby. I have, however, decided if I need fluids, I will take an IV, but if not then I just want lots and lots of ice water. Some of the reasons I say no to an epidural is because I want to be able to move around and have my partner hold me while I'm waiting to be dilated enough, and also because I've hearf it can cause complications with breastfeeding and skin to skin contact, which I want to be able to have both not too long after he's born. I just want hot and cold packs, and massages here and then. Although doing a completely natural birth scares me, I also know it'd be a million times healthier in alot of ways. Doe anyone have any suggestions that could help me? I'd love to hear from everyone!

One thing I didn't like about my epi aside from the back aches it has given me was not being able to move around. I also had like 5 days of contractions anywhere from every 4-15 mins before I was admitted so I think I could've done it if I was contracting for a shorter period of time. My freakin delivery room had a hot tub I couldn't even use! SMH. And the whole no eating thing made no sense to me and I was so hungry and getting mad cuz I was starving. I got "hangry" lol

I thought i was gonna do it naturally until it got really painful. I asked for the epidural & had no problems during or after delivery.

Lol the whole "hangry" thing i think is something thats gonna happen to me! And i just want to be able to do everything as natural as possible, unless there's a medical reason that id absolutely need an epi for.

The choice is yours momma. Ive done both ways never knew all the issues that came with it about the skin to skin and breastfeeding tho i just knew i didn't want any pain lol. The second baby came too quick so i didnt have time for an epidural it was scary never experienced pain like that and never want to again. Kudos to you for making the decision before hand. Very very brave.
