mckayleesmom replied: nope....sounds frightening...lol

MomToMany replied: I LOVE that show! That's how I want my next birth to be .

moped replied: Have never heard of it - I must do a search for it!

ions_momma replied: I have never heard of it either. Sounds interesting though! I'll have to try to find out when its on so I can watch it sometime!

six_kids_at_28 replied: Never heard of it...what channel is it on?

I could never do it all natural..I'm too big a baby

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I didn't get to see it... but my kids were just about natural... I only had a little bit of Demerol with my first, and some laughing gas for my 2nd... NO EPIDURAL.

I'm more of a chicken about that huge needle than I am about some stretch pain in my crotch that pretty much dissapeared right after.

Like having a big constipated. ...insert here....

moped replied: I have to say that and epidural was wonderful after 10 hours and only 5cm.....................LOVED IT

mom2tripp replied: ITA Jen! Although I never experienced any labor I say they made it for a reason and I'm so for it----I know many of you aren't so don't take that personally--PLEASE. I'm just stating my opinion!

holley79 replied: Is an Epidural really that painful? I was reading what it takes to get it in place in my "What to Expect When Expecting Book". Sounds more scary then labor.

moped replied: I found it the least scary thing about the whole thing really.................it didn't hurt at all - the Labour hurt IMO...............that was painful

MomToMany replied: I think the epideral was WORSE than labor, made me feel all funky & out of sorts. Plus there are risks to it, which should be weighed carefully before getting one. I had one with my first, and would never get one again.

I'm aiming for another completely natural (& maybe in the water) birth with my next.

six_kids_at_28 replied: IMO, An epidural is MUCH MUCH less painful than labor.....I personally thought it just felt like a flu shot

gr33n3y3z replied: with my first I had a shot of Demerol
2nd 3rd and 4th child nothing
It wasnt bad at all .... well I didnt think so.
