I made it to 6 cm before I got an epidural, at that point I was shaking lol and unlike these lucky ladies^^ I wasn’t able to move my legs for shit, the numbness was real! I would do the same thing again if I were to get pregnant again, hold off as long as I can and then get an epidural. Shit is painful lol
i tried with my last 2 to go natural i made it to 7 cm with both and omg i couldnt do it anymore so i got the epidural best thing i could of ever done and after i had the baby i was walking 20 mins later 🙂
Maybe you could try starting off naturally to see how you handle it and then making a decision. I tried it natural until I got to 7 1/2 cm , & MY GOD those contractions were ridiculous. At that point it was epidural no doubt about it but everyone is different.
And also your not numb for hours later so you’ll be able to get up and walk a while later, those beds made me stir crazy! Specially if you have an epidural you’ll get a catheter and I hated those! But it’s all up to you momma!
I’ve done both natural 2 times not by choice but I would choose natural I’m not gonna lie it’s painful but totally worth it in the end when your holding that precious baby.
