  Hey STM's (or more)- did any of ya'll do no epidural? I'm trying to make some decisions about that right now for preparations sake. I'll be at a hospital for sure, but want to try with no epidural. My question is, did you take a class? I'm not sure I'll be able to.

  I've lost weight and have started to get them already. It's okay

  I went as long as I could but ended up getting one. I think I would have done better with a class. DH didn't really know what to do and it would have been helpful for him to have some tricks. I'm looking into them this time

  @Snoopylovesbelle thanks! That makes sense. Just trying to figure out if the sacrifice of a class is worth it. Everything I've heard/read so far says yes.

  Is there a particular reason you're opposed to a class? I'm going to try natural as well so I want everything that could help me succeed in my arsenal.

  I had a light epidural right at the end. I have no regrets - I got two beautiful babies out just fine - but I'm definitely shooting for no drugs this time. I'm hoping it's much easier with one baby, plus I'll be at a very natural birth friendly hospital with great labor tubs and all kinds of balls and bars and stuff.
  
  I had my class scheduled too late and went into labor too early so we missed the class. We're going to do a few this time. We're decided whether or not to get a doula. My husband is down to learn all the pain relief techniques so now I'm leaning towards just using him.

  I am keeping the option of an epidural open if I need it, and other pain relief will be available too. Planning on taking a birthing class of some sort this fall and am debating getting a doula.

  Normally I just lurk here and love everyone's comments but I need to tell somebody my exciting secrets!! A few weeks ago we found out DH and I's best friends are expecting their first at the end of March! Then yesterday I found out DHs cousin who when we announced a month ago replied with "better you than me! I can't do the newborn thing again congrats!!" (Her DH replied the same) they have 9&7 year olds. Just found out they're pregnant too and due the beginning of March!

  Unrelated side note: I GUESSSSSSS this could go in the daily symptoms thread but I feel like a weirdo bringing it up. You know how your mouth sheds on the inside?

And the people that get worried because they don't feel pregnant or can't find the fetal heartbeat on their home Doppler even though they aren't a , so they start a new thread... Ugh

  If you're weird than so am I. This happens to me too and I've had it the past couple of days!! I never understood why it only happens every now and then, but that makes sense.

  I just spilt some food on the floor and am so glad that I have a dog. I tell him "clean up" and he comes in the kitchen and eats the food off the floor, he will be invaluable once we have kids in the house.

  I have had two epidurals, but if I wanted to try med free definitely a class or some method would be on my to do list!

  I don't like how people say we aren't welcoming. I don't even comment on the repeat posts, but obviously if you take a second to look around you will know that you are not going to get a great response to your question. Yall were very welcoming to me when I started posting about things, but I looked around before I started posting and quickly learned what to do and what not to do. It's not that hard.

  I agree. A while back I posted an emotional bleed out story and got nothing but positivity and support. While there is snark and not everyone is going to be a super special happy care bear all the time, I think when real stuff is going down, all the ladies on this board step up and are nothing but supportive of each other.

  Does anybody watch The Strain? Normally I love sci-fi/horror, and I actually really enjoy this show on a regular basis, but something about this last episode is making me really queasy (watching it on DVR.) I'm like actually debating turning it off, and I have never done for any gory show or movie... Pregnancy is so weird.

  When anything happens to any one of of the ladies on this board that requires true support- loss, bad news, pgal, fears, good news, etc everyone rallies behind them.

  I barely ever comment on the repeat posts (unless I'm sharing GIFs), but I do like that there's always someone there to say welcome and here is a way to find an answer to the question you asked (and has been asked like 500 times). Hopefully that will lead to the OP wandering the site and realizing it can be fun and then joining in on said fun. If they get upset about that sort of response, they probably wouldn't like it here anyway.
