Natural v.s. epidural? Whats yalls experience with both? Im wanting to go all natural but i hear the epidural makes the…

I didn't have a natural birth, the epidural was AMAZING it made giving birth so easy

@avahcruz how long did u labor b4 you decided to get it?

I had an epidural and I've had back problems ever since (the guy did it wrong). I was in labor for a little over 12 hours. I didn't have any pain but I do regret getting the epidural.

@twinmama8615, about 10 hours, but this is also me lol I have a very low pain tolerance

I've heard the epi can cause issues people I know that had it have pain in there back when they were stuck. So I did that shot that helped with the pain. So it was natural kinda. Worse part is the pushing when shoulder comes out.

Oh and there's comments about back pain, I personally don't experience back pain, it depends on the person

@shayla.galloway i have crazy bad back pain from the spinal from my csection. Im so scared its gonna make it worse.

@avahcruz how would u describe the pain? Cause certain types i can handle certain things i cant

@twinmama8615, my contraction pain was paralyzing. It was the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life

@avahcruz like describe it lol was it like period cramps or like you gotta poop or like what

@twinmama8615, it was like menstrual cramps intensified

@twinmama8615 me too. Not from that but have bad back pain in general. But just know there are more than one way to numb pain for a bit besides the epi. I forget what it's called but it let me sleep for 30 minutes. I was in labor for 12 hours pushing for 10 minutes.

@shayla.galloway i had no idea there was other forms of pain relif.. what all is there?

@twinmama8615 I went to birthing class before it's been over year since then so I don't remember it all. But this shot they gave in my arm just numbs the contractions your body can get immunes so you don't want to get more than 5 or you won't have any effect no longer.

@shayla.galloway was the birthing class worth it? I honeslty dont have the extra 70$ or free time to take it.

@twinmama8615 um they taught you how to breathe and all sorts of didn't info. Im not sure if you have a saint Francis but they have a mommy perks program that's free to take. If you join.
