WEll I'm guessing with 7 kids I 'm an expert. Do the freaking epidural
I have done BOTH and let me tell you... all this adrenaline stuff is hogwash. The truth is it feels like a mass murder is ripping your insides out from the front and back at the same time. Basically you will just lay on the table wishing your were DEAD, for the moments you have any sanity.
By baby 6 and 7 I was smart enough to learn to have the Dr. write ALL meds aloowed and exactly what they were AHEAD of time in the Dr's notes. That was because I knew by then sometimes he Drs. are with other women and I was doing no waiting. Every time a nurse said NO I would instruct her to open the notes and tell her do as the notes said or I would have her job. HAHAHA I also had intervenous Demoral for the last one. The Nurse said NO they never give that they give the cheapo weaker stuff nowadays.,. I said... BET ME.... LOOK in the notes and DO IT. HAHAHA I made sure the Dr. wrote Demoral was allowed.
HAHAH it was actually funny by number 7 because the nurse came in and said( you know the baby is part way out...why didn't you call. I responded...WELL I didn't want to rush anybody since I knew the lady in the next room was having difficulties and needed the Dr. more then me. the nurse just laughed and gloved up incase the baby flew out and she had to catch while we waited for the Dr.
