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.
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.
@anap1012, 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
😭 Beautiful photo! Congratulations, by the way! I’m jealous, I couldn’t make it through natural and I had second degree.. 😢
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 😮
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Congratulations 🎉 I’m going natural as well how did you handle the pain ?
