So I'm just curious, would it be best just to go natural or get the epidural? Any answer or advise please.
I never had that...got 2 boys already. Don’t plan on getting it with my little girl. Those who I know who gotten it still be having pains in that area so I’m cool on it. Just gonna fight through it and get her out ...lol.
Natural no meds i did with my first i tore but i had him out and not in labor pain long at all
I got an epidural and honestly it was great at first but it wore off an hour and a half later so I personally would have rather gone natural just so I would've been able to get up and such. I had no problems with the epidural but I heard stuff can go seriously wrong so I say just go natural
- With my first son I went completely natural. I'm not a person who takes medication.. I was so upset and overwhelmed that I don't remember feeling much. This time I have to have a c section which has be absolutely terrified ! You'll do great whatever you decide. Just remember, everyone is different.
@kambam, I agree. My last child was natural and I'm going for natural this pregnancy as well. Quicker recovery, no tearing, no epidural pain! I have two older children that I did the epidural with and will never do it again.
I just gave birth two days ago & I was gonna do natural but unfortunately that's not how it went down . The pain was so bad I was losing my sight . But I can say that I started walking right after & I'm doing pretty good (: But everyone's experience is different . But yes natural is good but if you can't do it don't be discouraged . You don't lose any points . In The end you're still giving birth to a beautiful life 😍😍
Natural is quick recovery. Painful but short and easy. Not everyone wants to feel pain but the epidural you can't move, can't feel pushing n slower recovery.
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
With my two i had epidurals but thats because my body reacts badly to pain. I also had pretty good experiences with them. But now i have horrible back pain. I wanted to go all natural but it didnt work out the way i wanted.
