Does anyone else plan on not getting a epidural and just do it naturally

Me!

I pray that I can this time I've done it before with pitocin I'd like to know what's it's like without it

I did iv pain meds with my son but this time I want to try and not even do that this time

I have done it natural.

Yeah I wanna try

to do it natural without doing it just really scared of the pain @beebaby,

You have up until 7cm for most places to get an epidural. It took a lot of music, and distraction

@mommy.to.sterling, yeah I bet it did I'm just nervous about not getting one

@beebaby, yeah that might be what I will try to do

I do

I do pray that when I do get pregnant with a healthy baby (I've had two miscarriages) that I am able to do it fully natural but plans can change like if I have to have a c - section then I will get the medication because I'd rather not feel that but if I can do it naturally then I won't be doing medication

I labored naturally (no pain meds) after being given pitocin during my induction up until I needed an emergency c-section and they gave me an epidural. I wholeheartedly believe I could've delivered naturally as well.

@amberjacq, I hope I don't need one because they told me my iron was low and they said if it's still low they will not be able to give me one
