[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also see high achieving women doing mostly natural births.  [/quote]

I see the opposite. Esp now that it’s been shown that epidurals are safer and better than going without and thus the shame has been stripped away. [/quote]

It is like marathon training, though.  It's about proving to yourself and others that you can do it.  [/quote]

I see a lot of pro-natural birth chatter online but IRL I only know one person who actually wanted to try it (it was not successful). There seems to be a lot of misinformation spouted about epidurals too, like overstating the risk of complications and suggesting that you won’t be able to move or have control over your body.

I was interested in getting a epidural but I did what the doctor said would be best for my deliveries.   They didn’t want the possibility of slowing down the birth of my son so no epidural or drugs.  I was induced with my daughter, excruciating contractions but i wasn’t far enough along to get an epidural.  This went on for about seven hours of the most painful contractions.   When I was finally ok’d for an epidural  the baby started making fast progress and she practically flew out.

So no epidurals and I had two natural pregnancies.  So what.  [/quote]

Go away with your fake news .
No doctor ever told you epidural would slow down anything. You forget most of us are moms and we know. We had babies. Lie to us about something else [/quote]

Someone is using this forum to talk about epidurals? Pls go to the pregnancy section and post. Or maybe use your bday post for your kid on on instagram to talk about your epidural experience![/quote]
