[quote=Anonymous]Hi. I had a long not quiet labor. I initially avoided an epidural because I’d had a medical trauma in relationship to medication and had needed multiple spinal taps to get relief. The idea of another needle puncture my spinal dura was something I was trying to avoid. I did eventually receive an epidural after the back labor was causing my legs to buckle (I essentially stood for 24+ hours to avoid worse spasms). I never screamed but wasn’t silent, lots of grunting. We all have our own process. 😂 I’m sure there were opinions on what would have been better choices from others, but in order to accept the spinal medicine I needed time. I was lucky to have good support and no pressure to change birth style or choices, though I did get good information throughout from care staff.

I’m sorry you had a rough time in your environment. Birthing is not easy for many of us. If I was the loudie,  one I apologize. 💗

additionaly, I appreciate and agree with the poster who mentioned having other pain options- AND additional birth support options (stools/chairs) available. Not everyone is a candidate for a home birth or able to afford a birth center/non hospital setting birth. [/quote]
