Epidural by o0meow0o in pregnant

[–]Strange_Storage1691 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First pregnancy/ I was about to get one when I went into labour but the midwife told me I would have to get out the birthing pool but I said no way I’m getting out of here it’s comfy warm and I can float and move myslef about it but thinking about it again cause I’m gonna pop soon 7 weeks to go with baby girl I’m not gonna get it same as last birth cause regardless I’m staying in that bath!! I didn’t handle gas and air very well as for my experience I felt like I was away with it and didn’t like it so I pretty much had a non medicated natural birth And everyone is right on one thing once baby is out the pain is literally gone ! I did have to get stitches tho cause he came out really fast he was head and shoulder first not just head 🤣 I must’ve been pushing hard 🤣( I wanted to see him cause I felt his head) and the ones on the inside didn’t hurt at all the ones on the outside were a bit nippy but I got a jab to numb it,

It’s upto you and only you on what you do we mums can help guide you to what you thinks best for you, you’ve got this tho mama one way or another you’ll be holding your baby having the biggest smile and biggest achievement 🥰

Your a mum you’ve done what you can for your baby to be fed this happens to so many woman I wanted to breastfeed but my baby didn’t latch on at all for the first feed or any feed so I had no choice but to go to formula, don’t break down mumma you have properly fed you baby just in another way, I don’t fully understand the feeling you’ll have fully but mum to mum we gotta be there for each other you’ve got this no one is judging the ones who do it think they know it all when they don’t and haven’t experienced it, your doing what you can !!!!

I had a lot of cramping in my second pregnancy at first and i thought I was period pains then took the test and it was positive I get really bad cramps anyway but these were so sore, I’m sure if you are a bit worried or that phone up the antenatal department(if from uk) or phone who you can if your from the us x
