[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had both experiences and let me tell you that the epidural one was a cake walk compared to the natural one for me. In fact, i was very pro-all natural in the first one and chose to have the epidural in the second. Of course this might be different for everyone and depends on your preferences.[/quote] I had the same experience. First birth, no epi, pushed for 45 minutes and tore badly. It hurt SO MUCH. As did the clean up and stitching. I believe I threatened to kick the poor resident who was doing it and it was really hard for me to enjoy the baby I had just met. Then I nearly bled out. Second birth, got the epi, pushed 3 times total and couldn’t feel it at all. I wasn’t even sure I was doing anything, but baby popped out on the 3rd push. Then we snuggled and nursed for over an hour. It was blissful. Epidural FTW IMO.[/quote]
