[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Figure out why you are so obsessed with experiencing pain in childbirth. Who are you listening to that is convincing you that is necessary or preferred?  Why do you believe them when medical science has advanced since women had to endure pain and drop babies in the field then keep plowing? Who has convinced you that it is better for the baby to feel pain? [/quote]

Medication during childbirth has risks, even epidurals. I didn't want someone sticking a needle in my back. (Although, really the risk is pretty low.) Other drugs aren't good for the baby. For me, the pain was worth it to avoid the risk. I had pretty bad pain with the first one, too. I had back labor and a very long labor. It still wasn't worth the risks of an epidural or drugs.

If you preferred getting an epidural and didn't mind the (admittedly low) risk, cool. Every woman has to get through this in her own way. It's not a freaking indictment of your birthing process if someone else does it a different way.[/quote]
