Not sure if this has been done yet, but I was just curious...

Repeat c-section for me. If I didn't have to do that though I'd be epidural all the way.

My goal / plan is an intervention-free birth. My BIGGER goal is feeling positive about my birthing experience regardless of whether the situation necessitates a change in the plan.

Epidural for me! I have had a lot of issues with pain from the get-go of our marriage, so in light of that, my doctor suggested that to avoid any complications, we go with an epidural...after talking to a couple other doctors (who know my history) we've decided to "plan" on that - as much as you can actually plan these things!! :-)

This is my 3rd and I am planning on doing the same as with the other 2; a hypno and water birth.

This! We're doing Bradley classes and my hope is to go med-free.

I put SS, yes, because I'm difficult. I plan to go as long as possible without pain meds and I don't want ANYONE to ask me if I need it. I want to be the one to request it.

My plan is to have an intervention-free birth as I did with DD. I do know that not everything goes as planned and I hope to be thrilled with the birth no matter what. However, with DD my labor was less than 6 hours long and I didn't even have time for any type of intervention by the time I made it to the hospital - therefore, if this one is different and longer, I have no clue what to expect and will be in for some surprises when it comes to the pain.

My goal is to go med free. With DD I did do it with a epidural in the end I was glad I did cause there was complications. I hoping this will be a easy med free birth.

Same for me!

I'm signed up to give birth at a certified private birthing center, with a midwife and doula in attendance. If something changes beforehand (baby in transverse position, etc.) and I cannot have this option, that's ok. But I hope it all works out for my original plan.

I didn't answer your poll because I don't think "bring on the pain" describes what I experienced with my first, nor does it describe what I am planning with this one.

I am planning another home water birth. I am looking forward to giving birth again. It was the most amazing experience of my life.

THIS!

I am going to a birth center, and I have three wonderful midwives. I honestly never considered a traditional hospital birth for a second. It's just not my style. I am not afraid of the discomfort of childbirth, but I AM prepared in the unlikely event I may have to be transferred to hospital.

Went med-free with DS and plan on doing the same with this one. I loved it...but it did hurt!

bluejayway · October 2011

I had to be induced at 42 weeks with DD. After 10 hours of labor (no pain medicine) we had a very scary emergency c-section. My whole pregnancy, I had planned a natural water birth and had done all the hypnobirth classes and work.

This time, I am going in with no expectations. I am trying to stay positive and think that this is an entirely different pregnancy and baby. I hope to have a VBAC. But whatever happens, I am hoping for a safe delivery and a healthy boy or girl!
