first unmediated birth
So me and my husband both want me to have a unmediated birth my last pregnancy with our daughter I got an epidural this is my third pregnancy and the doc who put it in popped a blood vessel in my back and now I have major migraines so I don't want to go that rout again. Any tips on no medication my first labor was 13 hours and my second 6 so this one should also be cut in half. Not worried just want some support and tips

I would highly suggest laboring in water...shower or tub. I wouldn't have been able to have a med free birth without that as pain relief

Natural childbirth class was a must for me. I took hypnobirthing. I'm not retaking the class this time, but I do plan on using a lot of the scripts and breathing techniques. My plan is to try switching positions often, use music, aromatherapy, shower/tub, positive affirmations/ guided meditations, and have my husband help a lot with massage/ light touch, and I've been praying for a quick labor ?. I wish the same for you!

All labors are different and do not follow a pattern. Not likely it will be cut in half. I do suggest home birth though.

Have a fantastic support person. Sometimes Hubby's are just as stressed as we are. It can be hard for them to see us in pain and not be able to do anything about it because guys are naturally 'fixers' and want to fix things. Having an extra support person there to encourage you and him would help a ton! I have had 4 non-epidural births while being induced with pitocin for all. Good Luck!
