How did you give birth? And is it as painful as it looks i dont fancy that part i like the making of babies?

oh full of drugs for sure!! lol

I cant understand why anyone would want to put themselfs through that much pain when there are drugs available to take it all away

lol

tried gas and air when had ds but made me feel sick. Spent most of labour in pool with dd, this time I'm thinking epidural but have back probs and previously whne things got painful was towrds end so was too late for one.

Can I just say when I was pregnant I was like no way will I ever have an epidural, well all I can say is it was a life saver. It was bliss after 13 hours of being a martyr refusing drugs!

Am thinking of asking for one early on, so that hopefully when i need it , it will already be set up and not too late.

i had a tens and gas and air.
i refused any other drugs as i suffer from migraines and some drugs can really set them off so i stuck to it!!

does breathing really work throught the pain

I found it helped quite a lot. When I ahd ds they had really bad curtains. They wre really flowery like from the 70's. I focused on a flower and did breathing, also heled with dd (although diff hospital and no bad curtains). Didn't help towards later stages when pain really kicked in but in my case that only lasted about an hour then baby arrived (hence they don't like me staying at home too long as can take upto an hpur yo get to hospital dep on traffic)

reallly dont fancy pushing throught the pain i am a wimp with period pain i would love natural but will have to wait and see

I found at the end when it got to pushing the pain of the contactions stopped. Having said that tho with dd when I needed to push it only took a couple of pushes and she popped out.
