I just had my twins naturally. The doctors kept pushing the epidural stating if baby B turned it will be painful for me to have them go in there to turn him. After the most painful contractions i’ve ever felt less than a minute apart each they told me to push…it was the most relieving feeling i felt and i was so happy i was able to talk between pushing, you would have thought i did have drugs. The doctor was right about baby B turning but she went up there while i was holding baby A in my arms and crying with my husband, didn’t feel a thing in that blissful moment..
2 hours after having my babies our parents came to see us, i was bright eyed, alert and nobody could believe i just gave birth, forget about birth to twins. i felt so wonderful afterwards and will choose to have a natural birth again if i ever have the chance.

I had what I’d call a “quasi” natural birth, I really REALLY wanted an all natural birth, but literally 3 days into labour (my girl made me work for it!) My dr & delivery nurse suggested I have a dose of phentenol so I could actually get a bit of sleep. (Can’t really recommend trying to deliver a baby after nearly 48 hours without any sleep) I had that at 2am & my daughter wasn’t born until 11:11, so there wasn’t any of it left in my system. In the end while I didn’t have the exact delivery that I planned, but I was able to get some sleep & after I relaxed I finally progressed in my labour, so I think it was probably the right decision. I hope I don’t need anything next time though!

I had 2 natural births, and YES IT HURTS! BUT…. the pain is overtaken by immediate love, awe, joy… for the life you just brought into this world. It is worth it and I would not do it any other way!

I had a natural birth (water birth) with my son at home, and my god, MY GOD did it hurt SO SO bad. I honestly was pretty traumatized. I’m not sure we’ll do it again. I look at women like Kerri with a mixture of jealousy and just . . .????? oh well, what can you do.
