I've searched this topic and I've found nothing on it. I think I would prefer pain-killers because of how much it's supposed to hurt but I also am a chicken when it comes to needles (epiderals would scare the crap out of me lol) so I was thinking about the natural birth? My mother had a natural birth and she said it was painfull at first but it eventually goes numb. What is your opinions?
I've also heard of natural births in a tub with water which sounded a little strange to me. |

yes it's true that women have been giving birth since the dawn of time without pain killers...
but you know what? my husband was 28" LONG when he was born... that's over 2 feet long... and was 12 pounds. i'm getting the epidural. i have 10 weeks left in this pregnancy, and i'm getting all the effin drugs i can. there's no way on this earth i'm going to try to squeeze a watermelon sized body through my cookie without getting some relief. when you're preggo, you get all the stories from every woman about every kid they've had. whether you want them or not. and one of the stories i hear on repeat (i work in a strip-club, so i have lots of them) is "i went natural with my first (insert number greater than two)... i had an epidural on my last one... i don't know why i didn't get the epidural with the others". i know me. i'm a hardass when it comes to external pain. piercings, tattoos, cuts and gashes... but internal pain? i'm such a baby when it comes to tummy aches, headaches, or even simple gas cramps. i remember what my period cramps were like, and omg i could have died. if i can't SEE what's causing the pain, i can't deal with it. there's no way i'm going through this natural, unless by some unforeseen horrible circumstance i can NOT get drugs. none. |
