I plan to do it without painkillers too :)
Congratulations! This is my 2nd baby no medication and we didn't find out the gender either! I'm due in 4 days and can't wait for the whole experience! Good luck and God bless!
I'm giving birth at a hospital too. I didn't find out what I was having either.. I can only hope I don't need any medication but with this being my first child, I have no idea how my body will react.
I'm trying to go all natural but since it's my first I opted to do it in the hospital. However my doctors and midwives are very supportive and only use interventions if necessary.
