@ecahanes, I keep telling myself that people have done it medication free for thousands of years and yet when I talk to a mom about going drug free, they insist that I have them. I guess I feel like people are doubting me and it is bothering me

Also as soon as baby is out the pain is gone. Just tell yourself it won't last forever! And you will not believe the applause you get when you tell people you had no medication lol

No it is absolutely the worst pain I have ever felt but I focused on my breathing the entire time, I had massage music playing and it was just my husband in the room. You need quiet so that you can focus on the breathing. I know that's what they all say but that shit works!

@ecahanes, and any mom I say about possibly going natural, they kind of roll their eyes and give me the impression that I’ll be begging for one. Like how you roll your eyes at the high schooler who says they are going to be a CEO in 5 years

@ecahanes, I know it’s possible without. I guess I feel like every person who has felt with labor (outside of the hospital) is urging me to have an epidural which makes me feel like they are talking about it being like torture (like the kind that kills a person just from the pain) and then I start getting even more nervous about the entire process. My hubby knows it will be tough on me and that he can only do so much so he wants me to have one just because he hates seeing me in pain

If I can do it twice you can lol I would at least try to not do it. I'm so glad I didn't. I see a lot of mom's having back pain years after it
