Good information ! Thank you so much. I'm really opting for a natural birth. I've been trying to stay away from medicine for a while except for tylenol. Healthier for my body because I've had a lot of medicine throughout my short life span and I know the chemicals used to compound drugs from a pharmaceutical viewpoint. I'm keeping my fingers crossed ! Thank you again.
I have had 2 and am planning on this one being natural as well. Moving around really helps and I loved using the tub in the delivery room. My hospital lets you in for about 15 mins at a time but it was really relaxing to use and I progressed quickly while in it. Also the longer you feel comfortable laboring at home the better it is. With my first I went in at the beginning of labor and was harder because of the constant hook up to monitors but with my second I waited til they were prettt painful and it was not as stressful at the hospital since I was not there for 12 hrs. Good luck, it is very possible if you are determined, plus I loved being up soonafter delivery :)
