Intro

Hello everyone. I'm new to the natural birth idea but very excited about it. This little one is set to be my third baby. I'll be 10 weeks on Monday.

With my first I had heart problems and extremely high blood pressure so after baby failed the NST and the biophysical at 36 weeks he was induced. I had a horrible doctor with him and it was a traumatizing birth. The anesthesiologist hit a nerve in my back, called me fat, and stabbed me six times before he got my epi in. Once it was in I couldn't move my legs or feel anything and it was awful.

With my daughter I had a great birth experience but still opted for an epi. Once again I went dead and couldn't feel anything and couldn't walk for four hours after her birth. She was also born at 36 weeks but she was a spontaneous birth.

So I'm not going to even risk feeling dead with this one. I labored on my own to 7.5 with my daughter and I'm sure I could have gone all the way no meds with her. I was just scared to try it and anxious because she was early.

I look forward to learning from everyone!
