[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many experiences that I relate to here! For me, I was NOT AT ALL prepared for a non-medicated birth. My first was a piece of cake. My second happened so fast that I almost didn't make it into the bed.  I am positive that the fact that I was SO unprepared to not be medicated made it 100X's worse.  I screamed "NO!" the whole time, lol. The feeling of having to push was so terrifying to me -- the nurses kept telling me not to push but my body was going to push that baby out whether I helped or not. I remember feeling like I had absolutely no control over my body at all.

If we do it again I am getting an epidural at my 7 month check-up. ;-) [/quote]

I agree with this. If you are planning to go no epi, the experiences of people who wanted one but couldn't get it for whatever reason are not the level of pain experience you should expect.  Expecting and wanting pain intervention but not getting it adds tension, a feeling of loss of control, anxiety, etc, to the whole experience which really ramps up the pain. [/quote]
