First vs. Second Pregnancy ?!

My first pregnancy they forced me to get the epidural cause my blood pressure was to high to the point I could have a seizure.  Will my second pregnancy be the same as my first? Cause I really don't want another epidural

Yea they said my heart rate was extremely high and made me get one as well which was okay because I planned to get one just didnt need it as early as I got it. The alternative was some type of medication that would cause nausea and light headedness... yuck so naturally I got the epidural and still threw up lol but I dont want one this time I've had back issues this time so hopefully just try and relx and hope it doesn't get to that point...

Natural birth is amazing. It's the most powerful and strong I've ever been in my life. I hope your body (and your doctor) is more cooperative this time and you get to have the birth experience you want.

Thats what I've been told lol.
It wasn't a bad experience with having the epidural i just think the mother should experience the natural experience of guving birth with no meds.

Every pregnancy is different, but just refuse the epidural if you don't want it. If you won't sign the paperwork they can't give it to you. Have you done birthing class? It helps with learning to breathe during labor.

Every pregnancy is different & hopefully you don't have to go through that again since you don't want an epidural. My 1st pregnancy was horrific! Lol the pain was unbearable & I was in labor for almost 48hours I'm hoping this 1 is NOTHING Like it.lol Good luck though. ☺
