Ive gone natural 3 times, and plan on it again with this one :), i chose it because i think its better for me and the baby, it seems to me more intervention leads to more and more (not in all cases of course. But it happens a lot).  Its hard, but rewarding.

I planned on going all natural, but after getting induced, the epidural was my best friend! Usually I have a high pain tolerance, but boy the contractions were bad. I went in thinking I would try all natural and if I needed medicine I wouldn't beat myself up over it :)

I am gonna go all natural (hopefully) but I have a high pain tolerance so as long as its going good and no problems that's what I want!

Natural all the way! I attempted it twice already but after 6 centimeters my body goes into shock! I start shaking and everything. I got an epidural the first time and emergency c section the 2nd. But hey! 3rd times a charm! :)

I'm opting for natural....FTM and want to experience the "full monty". I have a high pain tolerance and would love to think that I can handle it. I have seen some of my more "easily pained" family members go natural and I want to give it shot. I have no negative opinions about epidurals or other forms of pain reliever. I do worry that my son will be large!! But im going to at least try : )
