u gotta do what u gotta do...and nothing we can say can actually describe what contractions feel like till ur having them
i had no epi (or anything actually) and hurt like the dickens (whatever that is) but looking back it wasnt bad-bloody straightforward labour actually...and even tho it was 24 what i forgot to mention was the first 12 were bearable-so bearable that i was nextdoor at my best mates bday party playing truth or dare (well i couldnt drink so i had to amuse myself somehow)
geez u'll be fine-just think in china the woman takes a break from ploughing the rice fields and says "ooh excuse me...and squats down and delivers a baby....then that baby is working in the field by the end of the day and mum is preggers with number 2! hahahaha
I was also determined not to have an epi. Part of my whole anxiety thing is control and I hated the thought of having no control over my legs and also didnt want to be confined to the bed plus I had been told some people get sick with them and I so hate being sick (in fact I dont drink because of that) but when the time actually came I was throwing up constantly with the pain and refused to move from the bed then when they said I had to wait because of his heart rate I asked for one and it was the best thing I did, I stopped vomiting straight away too. I actually enjoyed the birth after that and got to have a bit of a sleep aswell. I had no problems after either and will be asking for one the minute I get to hospital this time. The only bad thing about was because Kobe was taken to NICU I couldnt go and see him till I was able to move my legs. I found the gas did absolutely nothing for me and was to busy throwing up to use it.
lolhahahahahahaha that sounds so funny i was 10 days over and it was horrable went to my midwife and begged her to do something then she reminded me that i had signed a contract saying there would be no inductions unless med needeed
i had a epi after 5 hours was in so much pain i just didnt care my best friend has your cond jessacia and i dont blame u for not wanting a epi just found out today that my mum was told by the doc who deleved me that i would never give brith normanly because of my hips and quess what he was right
i was at a hospital where they didnt do it cos i really didn't want an epi and i remember thinking how stupid that idea was wen i was there but afterwards i was glad
I'm a bit behind on this topic, seem to have missed it...
Hannah was born on her due date. My waters broke at 1am, contractions almost immediately, didnt get to 3cm until 11am and it was really sore by then - no epis in Dannevirke, only gas and pethidine. I remember thinking at the time if I was in Palmy Id be asking for an epi, but I didnt have the choice so just got on with it. Hannah arrived at 2.42pm after about an hour and a half of pushing, so only about 2 hours to dilate last 7 cm (1 hour per cm - whatever!). It still hurt like hell even with gas and pethidine which made me feel out of it, but all worht it.
