[quote=Anonymous]Just delivered my second unmedicated baby 2 weeks ago at VHC. The trick for me (and this worked for both babies) is to labor at home for as long as possible before going to the hospital. By the time I got to VHC, I was 9+ centimeters dilated both times and ready to go - so no time for epidurals or any intervention! My doula was indispensable, in helping me cope through contractions at home, and deciding when it was time to go in. I was GBS+, so since I never got the full dose of antibiotics before they came out, they just had to keep each of my girls at the hospital for at least 48 hours to make sure they were ok. I have had at least 3 friends who have had problems with epiduralsb (during, and long after), so the big scary needle was definitely not for me. I wouldn't suggest waiting too long to go to a hospital unless you know that you are low-risk. [/quote]
