Natural Child Birth

[Maeghon]

I'm currently 29 weeks pregnant with my 4th child. Since this is probably our last child, I'd like to attempt this birth completely naturally. Has anyone ever done this? I'd like to know what I can expect, since I've done the epidural thing with all 3 prior pregnancies.

With my second i couldn't get it but the labor was pretty quick

I ended up with an epidural with my 1st, but went natural with my 2nd. Yes, there is pain involved, but try to stay focused on the end result. Pushing is definitely easier as already stated as well as recovery. I wasnt so exhausted after natural delivery like I was with the epidural. My plan is to go natural again this time around Lord willing. FOCUS was the key for me...hope this helps!

I'm on my 5th and for my first 3 I had the epidural, for my 4th pregnancy I decided not to go with it, I have to say I felt alot of pain, but we'll worth it. For this pregnancy I will always try and do it without. It's much easier to push without epidural. To me it was easier as well afterwards without having to be numbed for a few hrs after the birth.
