Natural / Drugs - Pregnancy

Chevy_Gurl · 03-07-2006, 01:47 PM

How many have had which type of labor? What do you plan on having?

I had an epi with Anya and hated it. I ended up having a reaction to it making me sick for days later. With Schyular I had a natural and loved every single minute of it. Timmy was a I dont know. I went to Camp Lejeune hospital in labor, the nurse said Ill give you something to numb the pain when I was at 7 cm and the next thing I know I was in recovery with Timmy next to me

I really really want to go the Bradley method again this time around so we shall see. Im determined to stay away from the drugs

With MacKray I was determined to do it naturally but after 30 hours of induced labor I got an epi and never felt anything else.

With Bradley I went into it knowing I wanted a epi and got it when I was ready (at 5cm when they broke my water) I went to 7 feeling great and then it stopped and I finished out my labor naturally.

epidural the first time, and DEFINITELY will do it again!

Jaxon- induced labor for three days... had narcotics which made me extremely ill, 3 epi's and none of them took at all, then finally had a spinal when the dip**** doctors at NAS JAX realized the he was still at +2 and not coming down any further

Shelby- went into labor on my own, then got a spinal right before they did my C Section.

This one- I have no clue what I'm going to do yet. My docs really discourage VBAC so I don't know if I will end up trying one or not. If I do, I don't know what I will do for pain relief. If I end up with another C Section then obviously I will have a spinal.

I was induced with both of my kids so I had an epidural.

If things had gone my way, it would have been drug-free with DS & a drug-free water homebirth with DD.

Let me see.....

Michel- went into labor on my own, then it stopped so I was given Pitocin..I had one shot of pain medicine.

Miranda- went into labor on my own and again it stopped so I had pit again...no pain meds.

Devan- I was induced at 38 weeks...labor was very hard and fast..no meds.

Robby- I was induced at 40 weeks....had him before they could get the epi done!!

had a spinal with madison because she was a c-section.

hayden i had natural and i'm really glad i did. there was one point when i wasn't sure if i could make it, mostly because i was so tired. but i sucked it up, and my mom and jason were there to encourage me. the nurses were very encouraging too. that helped loads. of course then i tore so bad that i had to have pain meds for them to stitch me up and those knocked me out!

Drugs are good

Well....Thats a toughie for me to answer

Went in at 41w and 4 days in labor. They gave me something to help me sleep since I hadnt slept in 2 days. My contractions started to let up so they started pitocin. They gave me an epi...Didnt work

Did it again...DWorked for about half an hour

Gave it to me a 3rd time...Didnt work

So no drugs, no pain management and time to push and I tore after pushing for 2 hours. Ethan was just too big for me. They knocked me out with general and took him via section. So partially natural tho not by choice

I think I'll probably take the epi. Depends on how everythings goes.
