I had two without it. The thought of someone sticking a needle in my spine bothered me more than the pain. 😬

I gave birth completely drug free, no epidural, no gas, nothing.

Did it 5 times. That’s how are ancestors did it for millennia!

Or an idiot. There's no badge of honour for enduring pain. It's another medical gaslighting thing for woman to endure.

I have done both, the no epidural was an accident. To be fair both deliveries were excruciatingly painful. Women in general are just absolute bosses!

3 failed epidural in 2 hours and a shot of fentanyl and still natural childbirth.

For 3 times hospital “ missed” the time 😂😂😂

i just really hate needles hahah

Had epidural with my first after a day and a half of forced labour (pitocin) the epidural was amazing!! Messed my back up though as I had to have surgery when pregnant with all 3 and a epidural each time 😬 2nd and 3rd babies I didn't have enough time for any medication at all 😂 epidural made it more relaxed for me but no epidural made it more real!

Ok but seriously thank you so much I have been waiting a long time for anyone to say that to me 😭😂 That being said it takes strength no matter what (as does the rest of parenting 😉)
