My natural births were super easy and quick...but that's not always the same fot everyone. My labours progress very fast (dilated from 5cm to 10cm in about 20 minutes both times). First one I pushed for a little less than 20 minutes. Second one I pushed for about 12 minutes. I have a fairly high tolerance for pain as well. I'll probably go the same route with this one too.
I had my first baby natural the only thing that hurts is the contractions without the meds you feel everything. I'm on my second pregnancy I'll be 9 months Wednesday and hopefully I can go natural with this one as well.
Im hoping this go around to go natural, no meds. I got an epidural with my first pregnancy and it hurt. It also didnt work!! They put as much meds as they could in me but my babies heart rate was dropping. I could feel everything anyway so i told them not to give me anymore! So by the time i delivered i went feeling it all. As stated above what i really felt where contractions, that sucked..then i ended up with stage 3 tears bc they used a suction prematurely and took the baby out and they didnt need to! So i had to be stitched up and i felt it ALL!! They had to give me a few shots to numb me bc i could feel the needle going in and out..very painful!! This wasnt meant to scare u at all but the point is just try no epidural. In my case the pain was there anyway so it was no point in getting it anyway
I had m one natural and the only part that hurts is the contractions, I got in a hot shower and that helped alot and my labor without an epidural was 2.5 hours!!!! It was fast and easy. Hope that helps.
