Enough said. I had seven children with no epidurals, because I hate needles and I am more afraid of needles and anesthesia drugs than I am of my own body. Enough said.

I have a really low threshold of pain and always figured I would be the one screaming "give me drugs!" but after the class I strongly encourage women to learn more about natural childbirth. I think there's so much we don't consider when it comes to epidurals and more importantly, hospitals and doctors don't seem to take the time to discuss a woman's option and instead assume (or insist) on the epidural. I've never had a child and I would never judge someone negatively for getting the epidural I just think it's important to know what's out there.

Besides, there's evidence that they aren't as safe as many people thought they were, and that they do negatively effect the baby. And someone is sticking a huge needle in your spine! Yech.

You just know that that article was written by man who will never, ever have to deal with the indignity of squeezing something the size of a watermelon out of a hole the size of a grape.

I thought it's going to be "Would you like anesthesia, or prefer to limp on your own broken legs back home?" LOL, thats just too funny.

I had pethadine during the contractions and nothing while i pushed him out. THe epidural restricts you from moving around lots cuase you have a massive horrible needle in your spine. My mom had 3 kids she had an epidural when she had me the third, and she said it was shit. It's not worth it. You forget the pain anyhow after hte pushing the kid out. I'm anti-epidural :D I had a baby, without an epidural. I had pethadine during the contractions and nothing while i pushed him out.

Steve: There's going to be pain... Susan: Yes. Steve: Pain for which relief will be offered... Susan: Yes. Steve: But which, apparently, you won't want... Susan: Yes. Steve: This is not an intelligence test that anyone should fail! May the monkeys bless the BBC and Jack Davenport :D This calls for a Coupling quote.
