Natural Birth

[Dara_]

I wanna have a natural birth, but this is my first child & I'm thinking the pain may be too unbearable. My mom had a natural birth w/ my sister & I, anyone else go natural?

It's good to read the success stories of natural birth. I myself am having my first child and have decided for a natural birth....how far along are you dara_?

In the islands epidural is not even offered so my family think I'm a brat for even considering having an epidural

cnvan it's crazy because that is exactly what I tell myself! Lol but sometimes I'll get a bad cramp & it's like if this hurts how will I ever make it through labor?! Im gonna try to walk my behind off to make labor as easy as possible lol

I had my son natural yes its bloody painful but it is also such an accomplishment and you get an incredible natural high when they hand you your baby. I will be doing it natural again

This is my first child and my goal is to have a natural birth.  I try to keep in mind women did it for thousands of years without modern medicine,  it's what our bodies are designed to do! Of course there is nothing wrong with those who choose to use drugs as their form of pain management.  I say as long as baby and momma are healthy,  it was a successful birth story!

I had natural birth on my first kid when I was 16. No not purposely lol I made it to the hospital really late and was already dialated almost fully and when they gave me the epidural it didn't take. The pain almost killed me. I could feel the doctors hands inside me trying to guide the babies head out and I bout past out. I'm on my 3rd kid and epidural for sure :) but I must say, getting through it made me feel so strong and accomplished.
