Anyone who gave birth and did it natural no pain meds or anything wanna share their experience? Really not wanting to get a epidural. So please share.. I have 33 days or less.
I had a natural birth. I used essential oils during delivery and spent most of my labor in a hot shower. I'm a big baby and managed to do it so it's totally possible, but I did opt for the pain meds after lol
I got the epidural both times. With my first it only worked on half my body. With my second it didn't work at all. I have a really low tolerance for pain, so it was horrible for me. But with my first I pushed for 15 minutes, with my second probably 4 times.
I had pain meds with mine but they didn’t do anything so it felt like I didn’t have any pain meds thru my iv. And plus the hospital I delivered at don’t even do epidurals anymore.
I loved my natural birth. I really suggest a natural birthing class. I took a Lamaze class and it teaches you breathing. Very helpful for pain management.
I’m having a natural birth the second time around too. Without the epidural, labor goes much faster! It only took me less than 5 pushes to get my son out!
@rigney0503 i had my first child without meds. But the key was I labored ar home most of the time. I went for a walk and I progressed faster. The second child I had an epidural and I didnt like how it made me feel after delivery. I was sick to my stomach.
