@maya......, don’t get the epidural if you don’t want to. Just focus on breathing and not the pain. You can do it.

I don't wanna get the epidural cuz I'm scared of needles lol

@xmakayluhx me too, I tried so hard. Imagine at 19 I did it all on my own. It would have been too late anyway cause my state (at the time) if you didn't take the class they wouldn't admin and I didn't 😯

@maya...... That's always been my goal going in, trying until I can't anymore.... First time I was successful, second I was not. Either way, your decision and it's okay, either way.

@maya......, you got this momma! And you will be able to push! Again our bodies natural reaction is to get that baby out! You will do fine!

i got epidural at 6 cm it just helped with pain, didn’t feel anything just a little pressure.

No you don’t need no stinkin epiiiduralllll. 👐🏼

Try to stay calm. Try not to think about all the negative thoughts. Try to stay positive, && just know That you can do this. ❤❤

I waited till i was at a 8

@maya...... You can do this! Women were built strong. 💪 breath, shout, walk, kick whatever you have to do. Lol

@masseymomma16 no you're right! I can do this 😀

That's up to you! Our bodies are made to do without. But you don't have to! Sorry I'm no help!

The epidural can cause labor to slow down.

I'm a wimp I hope I can do this naturally....im so scared lol what If I can't push because of the pain??

Don't get it. Do what @simply_mee says.

I recommend to only get the epidural if you just can't do it no more.

Have a walk. Sit on yoga ball. Drink water.
