for people who...

For the people who say childbirth hurts and for the people who are scared that it will hurt... IT WONT! unless you decide to go all superwoman and have the baby naturally lol! I gave birth feb 12 2012 and I got an epidural, it was a breeeeeeze! No pains no worries after the epidural wore off I had a little bit of pressure on my butt (normal) and it stung very little when I peed. Its nothing to be scared about and in my opinion child birth is something that EVERY woman should experience at least once in her lifetime :) for it is an amazinh experience!

Epidurals dont always work.  They never worked for my sister in law, and they ended up giving her so much with her last one that she couldn't stand for a day and a half.  Mine have been natural and yes it hurt like hell, but was still the most incredible experiences ive ever been through, and it does make you feel kike super woma

I had an epidural also and I loved labor! I would never do it without an epidural and for those of you who have done in without an epidural all I can say is you have way bigger balls than me lol I had to have 3 stitches and I had hemmroids after but other than that I was perfectly fine and I'm excited to do it again

I love birthing with no meds. To each their own and the decision is up to every woman. I love to promote med free labor and delivery but I will not tell another woman to do it. I just think its the best way to do it unless medically necessary. My opinion.

Teenmomma I had 46 stitches and dislocated hips from my first one and went back for round two, no stitches with my last baby, and in about 21 weeks will be back for round three! I like to think I have pretty big she-balls. ;)

I think it's amazing to have big she-balls!!! I got to 8cms with no pain meds when my sons heart rate dropped, I ended up with an emergency c-section, and woke up from that with no pain meds, so talk about painful, haha! I totally think no meds is empowering and amazing. I just wonder what the F did we do in the old days?? We sucked it up and did it, and they lived through the short term pain and got an amazing outcome.

I would just rather get the epidural and be able to enjoy labor and delivery with no pain but hey, that's just me!

Just my opinion, although if you embrace the pain and can "connect" with it its not really painful at all. I had a natural birth including stitches and being 100% honest the only painful part was when I ripped. I grounded myself and was in no pain and enjoyed my labor. Like ashdub I promote medicine free birth although I will not force it on anyone.

I was so relaxed the doctors kept asking if I was even having contractions. No I'm not superwoman and I don't claim to be although it can be done.

My lil sis had an epidural and after delivery she threw up everywhere from it she had a bad reaction I was there when she was in labor and she was so lethargic it was unreal. Some people can do it some people can't but it's up to every woman to make her own choice but I don't promote epidurals because I've never had one. :)

People push epidurals so much these days. Its sad. Your body was made to go through labor and delivery. What if there was no epidural? Would these women never have kids then? I respect other womens choices but why preach about how every women should have them?  You wouldn't like it if women who did med free were preaching about it.

My baby was only 7 lb 1 oz BUT my hips were too narrow and didn't spread even tho I was fully dilated so my dr put his hands inside of me and shoved them apart thus tearing me up inside. I didn't tear at all on the outside it was all internal. It was aweful. But the laboring wasn't bad. With my second the laboring was 100x more painful but I only pushed 4 times and i didn't tear at all. I'm actually looking forward to it again because this is our last baby so this one is going to be very special :)
