Natural birth

[Blue9312]

So I have a couple questions about it, I have a feeling I'll be too scared to get the epidural, I don't even want to get an iv.

So obviously I know it's going to hurt, but does it hurt pretty badly afterwards?
I've noticed that people who give birth naturally it doesn't take as long to push for most, how long did you push?
Were you able to get up and move around soon after?
If you tore did you feel it?

I just don't really know what to expect as much as I do with an epidural. My mom had all of us naturally but that was 20 years ago and she ended up with alot of issues afterwards.

I hope it goes that well for me! Thank you :)

Well my all natural experience was good I pushed about 6 times and my baby was out. My doctor cut me down there while I was in the process of pushing she numbed it so when I tore I didn't feel it, after it just felt very sensitive down there I could walk with no problem but siting down and laying down in some positions did kinda hurt felt like a stinging sensation. If i hadnt tore I swear I could have been doing cart wheels lol I wasn't in any pain, I felt like my normal self as if I hadn't just gave birth.
Well i wish you the best♥
