Epidural option

kiddos4days

I was induced with pitocin all 3 times for different reasons and didn't have an epidural or pain meds with any of them. It's more my fear of being numb than anything! My plan this time is definitely another epidural/ Med free birth! Hopefully without being induced!
My middle was definitely the hardest because I had back labor but I made it through! Once the baby is out the pain is gone and focusing on that helped me tremendously!!

I wanted to go med-free and did Hypnobirthing with DD1 but I had to be induced due to a slow leak and pitocin contractions are the devil so I reluctantly got an epidural. It was the best decision I made. With DD2 I had another epidural but it wore off before pushing and I could feel EVERYTHING. But it made for short and sweet (5 min) pushing. I think I'll be getting one again this time around.
