[quote=Anonymous]I agree about trying to birth without medication. I've had two babies (both on the larger side, second was practically 10 lbs) and never felt the "ring of fire". I felt stretching and tightness when the head was being born, but that literally lasted 30 seconds. If you'd rather deal with 30 seconds of pain over weeks of your nightmare UTI, then it might be worth it. Personal decision though. As far as pushing being satisfying, I think what the PP said about you being in control is key. Freedom to choose pushing positions, timing, etc is so important. Pushing flat on your back with your legs spread eagle and your nurse counting numbers while you hold your breath is annoying and inefficient. When you have to push, you push the way you want to and how you want to. Toilet, squatting, hands and knees, whatever. You know you're capable of birthing a baby if you've done it twice before. :)[/quote]
