Anemia and no epidural

[Parentaladvisoryexplicitcontent]

I was wondering if it is a smart idea to go without epidural if im anemic... Cause i know i will feel awfully tired and completely have no strength to be pushing out my baby... Thoughts? Suggestions? Any experienced moms who went without epidural with anemia

I used to be anemic, I still take extra iron pills while being pregnant to be safe. I'm doing it epidural free.. I heard water births help but I'm not sure if my hospital does them

I felt the same way and had anemia but I went through with it without epidural. I had heard about bad side effects to it. I'm pregnant again and almost due, also anemia but I wont do epidural. At the end of the day it would be your choice but I think you would do just fine. Its all worth it

My sister in law was anemic and didn't get an epidural. No pain meds and did just fine
