Afternoon mummies
Really would like to encourage all mummies here not to read and watch too much on giving birth. Not to trust too much on birthing pains too. It's all in your mind. if you think your pain threshold is super low and needs epidural for sure, then yes you'll need it for sure. If you think you can do it without epidural, then you wont need it. Its all about what you think in your head.. I didn't use epidural for my #1 and delivery time was short. From water bag bursting to delivery was only 3 hours. When I was pregnant with #1, I knew all the while that I was not gonna use epidural (partly because I had a crooked spine and I didn't want doc to poke needles wrongly) but mainly because I trusted God that it was gonna be easy. It wasnt painful, i only had a few intense contractions. So with my #2, I'm going to do it without epidural again. It's possible.
Btw gosh I dreamt of bb name yesterday. My #1 boy is called Seth. And I dreamt the name Seia for #2! gosh, what kinda name is that?!
