[quote=Anonymous]I had two unmedicated births. I'm a lawyer and I have a bad case of lawyer-itis about epidurals. I really didn't want anyone poking around on my back, and other kinds of medication aren't good for the baby. I was a distance runner (half-marathons) before I got pregnant and I continued to run during pregnancy. I found the mental toughness of running really helped with delivery. I was used to dealing with physical pain and pushing through it. It helped. I think being in good physical shape helped with the delivery as well. I had more stamina.[/quote]
