I have two children. I did not have an epidural. They did give me some shot, in the butt, that calm me down a little. Once you hold that baby, the pain seemed so minimal. I would not have changed the experience for nothing. Most of my friends had C-sections. Doctors liked scheduled births. It makes it a lot easier for the doctors. I feel sorry for my friends that did not get to experience natural birth. (well semi-natural, I like the calming medication). |
