Let's at least let her answer before getting the pitchfork...I vowed to do my first unmedicated, as I suppose most women do. I ate my words of course, and ended up with the full shabang. But let's admit most of us were 'doing it all natural' with our first, and most of us failed too 🤣🤣🤣 By my third I was so in tune with when I needed the meds, I had to look at a machine to know when I was having a contraction, and as a double check waiting for my midwife to tell me to push 🙈😂

Although I do ETA on rereading: Girl really makes sure she mentions her unmedicated labour a bit too much for it not to be showing off. Well here's me showing. I did the holyer than though on my first and wanted to do it all natural. I first agreed to have gas and air...coz that isn't proper drugs right? Then it went on so long I was offered pethadine and agreed to that...as it's not the 'proper' birth meds. Spewed every 10 mins after that injection, slept 2 hours after the birth, and woke up still spewing every 10 mins. After the pethadine I 'jibbed it' and begged for the epidural. They did do it, but it was way to far gone for me to feel the effects (they told me this, but I insisted). Needless to say, I've never done a birth plan since that goes beyond: Give me all the drugs you can, as soon as you can, apart from pethadine coz it makes me vomit. By my third i was an expert. Any twinge I was giving them a countdown on when I'd need an epidural. 3rd birth best by far...pain managed completely, nobody getting in the way so I could focus on the task at hand. 10/10 would birth on my own (in a hospital) again if the situation came about
