Why do you forget the pain of giving birth?
Posted by: | CommentsI have spoke to many people who have had natural childbirth including myself and you forget the pain you went through. I only remember bits and pieces of having my son.I do remember being in pain but it’s real faint. Does anyone have any idea why this is? Do you feel the same way? I was in labor for 17 hours. My son is now 3 1/2 years old and it was shortly after I felt this way.

Posted by: | CommentsI’m planning to start TTC right after the first of the year, and I know I want a midwife for a natural childbirth. When should I begin to look for one – before or after I get pregnant?

Help natural birth tips?
Posted by: | CommentsI need tips on pain management and everything to do with natural childbirth. I want to start preparing myself. It isn’t about being a tough woman for me. I just think that this is how I want it to be. I’m birthing in a birth center inside a hospital so I’m as safe as any birth but I want as few interventions as possible, I especially don’t want meds. I haven’t had so much as tylenol in 9 months so why start now? My body was made for this. What worked for you?
What kind of pain medication did you have during labor, delivery and afterwards?
Posted by: | CommentsI’m curous to know the effects of different medications on different people. Which ones didn’t work, which ones did and such.

pressured into childbirth with meds?
Posted by: | CommentsDoes anyone feel like you’re almost being pressured into using pain medicine (epidural) rather than natural childbirth? I would like to give natural childbirth a shot…but everyone says I’m crazy and I’m stupid and there’s no way I will be able to do it. Then my doctor reminded me at my last visit that they “believe in pain relief and pain management” and whenever I ask questions about natural childbirth on Yahoo! Answers I’ve gotten responses such as “don’t try to be a cowboy” and “the nurses and doctors will think you’re being silly”
I feel like I’m almost being pressured into using pain meds…and people think I’m crazy for wanting to try a natural birth. Anyone else feel like this?

Do you do a #2 during childbirth?
Posted by: | CommentsOK, I didn’t know how else to headline the question.
But my bf’s mother told him that you don’t. I love the lady…but this is the same lady who gave natural childbirth to 3 children (him included)…and I honestly think that’s a load of crap! (no pun intended).
What about your experiences?
UGHHHHHHHH..so when I see that greenish brown stuff in labor videos..it’s not really “labor” stuff?????
