I have always said, (years before I ever became pregnant), that I would never get and epidural. Now that I am finally pregnant at 28 years old, (everyone I know has already had a baby), I still feel the same way about the epidural. Everyone assumes that I'm getting one. They are like, "girl don't be scared, once you get the epidural you wont feel a thing." Then my response is, im not getting one, and thats when I get lectured. "Oh yes you will, you might be strong, but your not that strong." I keep telling them that my mom had me natrual, and they say, well yeah that was back in the old days. People just don't do that anymore. Yeah your gonna get an epidural. I keep getting into arguments with these people, and they end up saying, well call me after you have the baby and tell me if you had one or not. I am getting pissed, cause what if at the end of my pregnancy I decide to give in and get one, now that makes me look like a wuss.
No right now in my mind, body, and soul, do not want one, but is for some unknown reason I change my mind, I want that to be okay too.
I do have one friend that has 5 kids, and she had everyone of them natrual. She calmed me somewhat when I talked to her. She told me that I can do it, just stick to my guns and don't ask for it.
What are you guys feelings towards the Epidural and If you've had one already please tell me what you liked and disliked and if you would consider having it again.
