[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went through both without drugs so the pain was absolutely unimaginable, but overall it wasn't so terrible that I wound up going for a third. Recovery is definitely easier when you don't have medications and unnecessary interventions, so I'll likely be going that route again. Even stitching, I had a minor second degree tear both times but elected not to get stitches the second time (because the last thing you want is someone needle and threading your vagina after pushing out a baby) and it healed just fine. I kept my legs together for about a week, that's it. [/quote]

Who said recovery is “definitely easier” without meds? My first delivery was full on meds. Second was too quick and no meds. Maybe a couple of hours difference in recovery I.e with no Eli you could walk earlier etc. .. Smh.

Neither was enjoyable. Get meds! [/quote]

Don't be obtuse. An epidural is literally surgery. The difference is between recovering from just childbirth and recovering from childbirth and surgery. Obviously it's easier to recover when you haven't had surgery.

How about don't tell other women what to do with their bodies![/quote]

Huh?? Did you mean a c section? An epidural...is not surgery. Wtf[/quote]

Yeah wtf! I had a vaginal labor with no pain meds and a vaginal labor with epidural. The one with an epidural was SOOOO much easier to recover from. I wasn't physically and mentally exhausted after it in the same way. When you're in so much immense pain, all your muscles tense up. Weirdly enough even my shoulders ached and my back (probably from tensing). [/quote]
