@sjgraham1922 That makes me want to have a natural birth even more 😃 I suppose it depends on the pain tolerance of someone, with the whole needing an epidural thing.

@erica_w14 natural birth is amazing. I loved the feeling of actually giving birth. For 1 I could actually feel the contractions and I knew when it was time to push. 2nd I was able to experience the ring of fire and know that baby was almost out. 3rd I was up and walking around within 30 to 45 minutes of having baby. With my first the nurses wanted me to stay in bed and call them if I needed to get up since I had an epidural.

@keonataylor Don't be scared it is all part of birth and once your baby is here that's all you going to care about, the pain is the least you gonna care about. 🌸

I feel the same way!!

See, I'm the opposite. I'd rather go through natural childbirth than get the epidural...I also have a thing about needles. Lol.

I'm gonna try to go natural, if I can't handle then epidural will happen lol. And this is my first baby as well and I just turned 21. You'll be fine momma I know a 14/15 year old that is about to pop. You got this girl

I'm terrified as well but the way I see it is I'd rather be in that pain once for the epidural rather than every single contraction

It doesn't hurt the only thing is having contractions while pushing

I've had a few people tell me it's not as bad as it look and it doesn't really hurt.

@jasminecotton5 I was wondering how it felt to have a natural birth. I plan to 😃

@keonataylor I've seen some epidural videos on YouTube. That might help you decide 😃 it completely put me off of it...actually I'm completely off C-section as well (unless it's totally necessary)...I kid you not, for a whole 2-3 days I was kinda like "um...nope, none of this is for me!" Lol

@denisalozic717, awesomee, thank you!!

@erica_w14, I totally understand.

@beebaby, thank you!

I personally don't plan to have an epidural. I've got Scoliosis and I don't trust anything near my back!

You won't feel it mama! I didn't! It helped a ton with the pain of contractions though and you'll be able to get some rest.

Good luck.

Your welcome

@beebaby, yeah I think that's what I'm going to do.

@jasminecotton5, okay thank you!!

@marinewife10, girl don't tell me that you'll get me scared. Lol

All you gonna feel is pinch no horrible pain. At least not for me with my two boys. The severe pains comes afterwards when it wears out. Gurlllll post-partum pain for me was a nightmare.

Well the epidural you want feel no pain but one I had my youngest daughter I went natural I mean don't get me wrong i was scared but once push it just feels like you got a bowl movement but that's it

@keonataylor you can go natural. You never know until its time and your dont know what you can handle. You can wait up.until 7cm to get an epidural. I would pace yourself and see where you are and if you cant handle it then get help

@jasminecotton5, so should I try going natural or no? I have a good pain tolerance but I don't know what this pain is gonna be like.

I had the epidural with my oldest daughter you just got to stay real still it feels like a bee sting When you get you feel better you want feel anything my youngest daughter i went natural with my little boy which I'm pregnant with I'm going natural

@beebaby, yeah I know I don't have to but this is my first baby and I'm 18 and freaked out. I don't know if I can go natural.

It hurts less than going through labor without it. You dont have to get it
