This is my third and it will be natural, my first I had a really bad experience with the epidural, second i only got one shot of Iv morphine because I got stuck at 9 1/2 centimeters so it was natural and this one I plan the same. The epidural scares me and with my experience it's not worth the pain of getting it I would rather handle the pain if labor. Breathing through contractions, trying to relax and really focusing on breathing now screaming or tensing up is what got me through

I'm pregnant with my 3rd also...I had my first 2 natural and to me it wasn't that bad. It hurt of course lol but I went in knowing and accepting the fact that I would be in alot of pain so it was much easier to handle...I'm planning on having this one naturally but I'm a little nervous because my doctor said he will probably be much bigger than my older kids were at birth

I had my first natural and i was in labor for 13 1/2 hrs and I'm going natural again....its honestly not that bad an epidural can leave back. pain for the rest of ur life and it makes it so much easier pushing cus you can actually feel you contractions and know when to push!!!

I had an epidural with my first but not with my second. This is my third pregnancy also and plan on going natural again. Its worth it. You recover faster and being able to walk after is awesome I hated being confined to a bed
