    In all honesty, you don't know if you can handle the pain until you try it. I had four kids naturally and the pain was never unbearable until it was almost time to push. And the actual birth is always a relief because pushing alleviated the pain of contractions. I encourage all women to at least try for it once. It is the most empowering thing I've ever experienced.
    That said, you are in charge and it's up to you so if this was a great experience for you, who am I to protest? Congrats to you all!

      agree! i have had 2 completely natural labours and it doesnt hurt half as much as you expect! :)

      stephanie sheehan your comment is kind of a relief I hope it'd be the same for me. I'm only 2 months pregnant and so freaking nervous about labour :S

      I found childbirth less painful than a toothache which can make you cry. The pain goes away and somehow you forget about that pain when it's over. It might be the miracle of forgetting but it is definitely an unforgettable experience and well worth it.

    You had a great doctor! Six months ago the fools in Labor and Delivery at Kaiser in Santa Clara, Ca sent my daughter home several times for a week after her water broke. After the initial gush, the fluid was just dribbling. The fluid also "didn't test as amniotic". So my daughter collected the fluid in a jar and brought it to her OB-Gyn who determined it WAS amniotic fluid. She was admitted and induced immediately. Luckily there was no infection, and now I have a beautiful healthy granddaughter. Whew! Such a joy. Congratulations on your Oliver!

    I had my baby this past November 2014. No epidural. All natural. My first baby , took me 4hours to dilate from 2cm-10cm. No pitocin. And It took me 20min to push and baby was out. 9lbs baby. Before pregnancy I was 97lbs I'm very skinny naturally. And I was 135 when i gave birth.

  • @carahamelie
    @carahamelie 10 лет назад +32

    ugh, this makes me feel better about giving birth a second time. I did it natural..(not because i wanted to... lol) So i was slightly traumatized.. but this made me feel better.... if i can get an epidural.. it will be so much better!!

      Every pregnancy is different, and every labor is different. So yes, sometimes it turns out just fine. However don't dismiss the dangers of labor. All you can do is just try and relax.

    I had natural labor with both my kids, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I could never have the epidural...I watched A Baby Story, and the mother was paralyzed for 6 or 9 mo after because of a reaction she had, and its something going in your spinal cord...anything could happen. I was to chicken LOL! And they have been doing births for many many many years without it, and did it just fine...why couldnt I? ANYWAYS I wouldnt have it any other way, that experience just brings you that much closer to your baby in my opinion. But my labors were fast, and when I say fast like 3 hrs with only one push for my son and 3.5 pushes with my daughter. I am happy to hear baby and momma are doing well :) in the end thats all that really matters!

I had exact same birth story, except we both had fever already because of lost waters, and my epidural only numbed my toes ( nobody wanted to believe me when I was swarming in pain ). Our boy was with high bilirubin as well. Congratulations on your new pregnancy!!! You're an amazing mama.

They sent us hm with photo therapy and we were able to bring her hm while being treated. I was freaking out bc she was born at 36 weeks and 6 days. But she is awesome and butterball now.

    I had water birth with only gas and air helping me cope with the excruciating pain (it was like literally tearing my skin apart). Had a few stitches too! But then, the moment I saw my baby I forgot how painful it was. Lol Giving birth is one of the precious things a woman could ever experience not to mention the first time you hear the baby's heartbeat. :) It's just so surreal! Anyways, sending love from a British-Filipino family. ;)

    I'm a teen mom I'm 17 and I actually had a natural birth. Didn't last long, got to the hospital and was 7 centimeters dilated. I arrived at 12:30pm and had my baby boy Julian at 3:02pm on August 28, 2014. He weighed 6pounds even. It was painful but it was worth it I wouldn't change a thing

      Same here, I just had my first child, a boy as well and I had him completely natural. He was 6.9, I went in 7 cm dilated and was at 9 cm in a half hour after getting to the hospital. I had him on October 10th 2014 and you really do forget about the pain once the doctors put them on you. Although my healing process was painful the whole 2 weeks after cause I didn't have help getting around and I had to go up and down my stairs a lot.

    • @veronicanaula4731
      @veronicanaula4731 9 лет назад

      ashleyx21able That's true the pain is worth it at the end. When you have your baby in your arms, nothing else matters. I actually had to go back to school and I wasn't fully healed.

    Congrats on your new bundle of joy! I gave birth to my first born 2 months ago. I heard from so many moms that even though you have a plan, some times they never go as planned because things can go wrong. I was constantly being asked what my plan was. Luckily, my plan went even better than I thought. I wanted to do natural all the way and if I can't take it I want epidural. And I was always being put down for wanting the epidural but you never know what's gonna happen. I delivered my baby natural for over 16 hrs and I felt everything! It was the best decision I've ever made. I wasn't dilating so I was induced and was given pitocin. I almost gave up but with the support of my husband and family I was able to get through it. The contractions was a pain! But the pushing was actually less painful and much easier. As soon as that last contraction hit, I knew the head was coming out and I had to push. Right then I started pushing even when the doctor wasn't there. I had to wait 20 minutes for the on call doctor. I push 5-6 times in less than 5 minutes and plopped! My baby was in my arms. I didn't have to push my placenta out. The doctor pulled it out for me. I felt it coming out and the cool part was I got to see my placenta and see where my daughter was living in for 9months inside the womb. It was an amazing experience!

    First of all congratulations!
    I hope Oliver stays healthy and happy.
    Secondly I am German, and I am still baffeled by the amount of women, who are induced, get epidurals or have their kids with the help of c-sections, when there is no medical reason for it. C-sections are a blessing if there is something wrong, but I don't get the planned c-section to spare the mother the birthing pain. In my opinion, the after effects of a natural birth are much milder than that of a c-section. I strongly believe, that most births could be natural births without to much medical intervention, if we would just let them be. I delivered both my kids naturally. With my first born it was a pretty long birth and I got some anti nausea meds, because I threw up everywhere. My second birth was much shorter and much easier. In both cases the actual pushing did only last for a couple minutes, I really think, that an epidural numbs you so much, that that step takes longer, than it has to. I ones teared and once was cut, but it both healed well.

    Natural birth right here, but not a lot of extreme pain actualy.. I was so amazed and impressed by the experience that the pain never bothered me. (In the Netherlands it is not as usual to get an epidural)

    omg I know like five moms who don't nauseate me with their talk of parenting, and all of them are from this generation. some people talk about having a baby like getting a luxury purse.
