I gave birth a week before due date. I wasn’t going to get the epidural due to many reasons, I requested the epidural after 6cm. I felt like I was dying, I felt my back tearing along with heavy period cramps every 1min for 5min worst pain ever! I was able to push without an issue I didn’t feel a thing!! The aftermath of giving birth is tearing is so uncomfortable and hurtful. Overall experience was great I finally got to see my little miracle. Welcome to the world Abraham Ivan ♥️
