Epidural or not
Hi mummies, any of you had experiences in births with and without epidural? Will you be able to share your experience and whether you will choose to have an epidural birth or non-medicated birth, having tried both? I’m very conflicted on whether to go with epidural or without.. Thank you in advance!
Best if you allow yourself to feel the pain first and decide whether you want to use an epidural. If you can handle the contraction pain, and have your own ways to "forget" or "control" the pain, by all means theres no need to use epidural. Just a heads up, if you need epidural.. do ask for it early because once you are having late and intense labour, you can't ask for it anymore. I am giving birth in maybe 2 weeks and its my 4th child 😁 1st: No epidural because i was induced and my cervix open from 3cm to 10cm in 30 minutes. It was not advisable to use. 2nd: Took epidural. 2 hours intense labour and decided to give in but i gave birth 30 minutes later lol. Couldnt even rest 😂😂 3rd: No epidural as my cervix open fast than my 2nd birth. My waterbag burst at home. Had early contraction which was not that painful night before. Woke up with excruciating pain... called ambulance and my contraction was really close. I was 8cm open by the time i reached the delivery suite. Gave birth to my 3rd right away.
