    There are people that have badges stating they are BRAVE for going natural. I take offense to that. Do you have a badge? NO so get off your soapbox.

    I had zero epidural by the time DD crowned and I did suffer so I feel completely secure in making that statement. I think it is great that people want to give birth naturally, but I do not appreciate being made to feel that I am a coward for wanting an epi.

    You're too sensitive, and taking something personally that has nothing to do with you. 

    I had an epi the first time, and went med-free the second.  Fcuk yeah, I felt brave and triumphant after giving birth med-free....but never once thought of myself as a coward for having the epi the first time.  This is your own issue.

    And tangentially...I suffered more with the epi than without.

    Wowza - I guess that really was an unpopular opinion!   I guess when you are the one working the long hours and are put in the position where your husband is the one at home, maybe you see things a little different.  Also remember I have 2 kids 1 and under and am pregnant.  If my husband is snoozing on the couch while I work, all that means is more work for me when I get home.  Some might argue that I need a nap more than anyone - but I don't get them - ever.  So yeah, when I hear that my husband who worked a 6 hr day needed some shut eye in the afternoon, it gets to me a bit.

    My H is a SAHD, and I would NEVER begrudge him a nap during the day, FFS.  Sleep is more important than laundry, dishes or yardwork.

    People who think they are "brave" because they gave birth med-free. I think we are ALL brave for deciding to bring another human into this world. Just because you wanted to suffer your way through it doesn't make you brave.

    I never said that I was brave for having two med-free births, but I really, really don't like your tone here.  I wasn't looking for praise or a gold medal.  I did my research and felt this was the right decision for me.  I don't talk shiit about people who have epis, so perhaps you should zip your lip about people who choose to go med-free. 

    Oh FFS, read my whole post before getting on your soapbox.

    I read your whole post.  And I still think you should STFU.
