Looking back at the photos my husband took during the birth and I see this one. Natural birth and I only shed 1 tear! This was the most painful birth too.
Birth Plan Rant I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
I been off my birth control pills since April this year
As calm as I try to be I am TERRIFIED of giving birth!!!
How come theres no group for birth/labour experiences? As a first time mom, I want to know your stories! I want to have a natural birth, at home. Preferably in a birth pool. Tell me about yours!
All mommas on birth control! what birth control are you using , I don't know what to choose after the baby is born. I've never really been on birth control. I definitely don't want anything that can cause complications, weight gain and mood swings! thanks in advance!!

After experiencing the epidural with my first I told myself I never wanted to go through that again. My body didn’t do well with it. I don’t really have a technique I was just really stubborn on not getting the epidural lol. During the contractions I moaned and tried to keep my body as relaxed as I could. One good tip I do remember hearing was not to clench your fists. Because if you’re clenching your hands then your whole body will be tense and you’ll be working against the contractions. So I always remembered to do that. And I fell asleep between contractions to rest. Thankfully for me the pushing stage doesn’t last more than 5 minutes.

oh ok I did have the epidural at first but they didn’t give me the medicine so I went half natural wasn’t to bad he came out in a half a push so I’m praying I can go full
Blown I was told to listen to hipnobabies and relax and wait until contractions are closer than go to the hospital and congrats you a champ ! I can’t wait to deprived natural you gave me the strength to pull forward ! She’s beautiful btw

Thank you!! Don’t feel bad it’s actually pretty common to tear with your first baby. I only tore with my first but not too bad. This one was my biggest baby and surprisingly didn’t tear at all 😮
