Have You or Anybody You Know Ever Delivered a Baby Without Meds? Just got through watching "A Baby Story" on TLC, and they showed a woman delivering a baby with no epidural or no pain meds. I give that woman mad props, because I'm a woman myself, and I know at the first stab of pain, I would be hollering out for meds. I'm a bit of a baby when it comes to pain, and I would want to be as comfortable as possible. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

With my first son I had nooooo pain meds(boy was I crazy). They gave me something to sleep in between contractions but nothing for the pain. And to top it all off I was on pictocin which make the contractions come faster and stronger then normal. Crazy me did that the second time. But the third and fourth time I was asking for an epidural. Thank God for pain meds [Edited 10/21/04 11:39am] | |

A friend of mine had such quick deliveries that she didn't have time to get epidural or anything else. Luckily all the birth-givings were so quick, she didn't have to suffer long but once she said she remembers just some flashing moments. [Edited 10/21/04 11:41am] Time flies like an arrow

I did it w/o meds.
Labor started Monday morning. She was born Wednesday afternoon. I was tuckered out. "Pedro offers you his protection." | |

I was in labor 21.5 hours, 37.5 hours and 48 hours respectively and no way in hell was I gonna get through that without my epidurals. | |

au naturel! most mom's hate me though. my first (and only) child, and i was only in labor 7 hours, and only pushed 27 minutes. for the first 3 hours i didn't feel any pain at all. in fact, i was determined to play solitaire thru the contractions!! believe me, that didn't last long. but all in all, it wasn't that bad. ok, yes it was. i can't imagine the moms doing it for 30+ hours. | |

My wife had our daughter without any medication.
We arrived at the hospital at 9 am and Leah was born at 1159am. No time for meds. | |

Yes. my ex-boss's wife.
She went to the hospital, and about 20 minutes after she got off the elivator in the hospital, the baby was out. | |

I've watched that show before and it has scared the crap outta me a few times! And major respect to you ladies who've delivered your babes with no meds. I watched my sister in labor with her first child and well, it looked a tad...uncomfortable. | |

Does water birth ease the pain? "Nobody makes me bleed my own blood...NOBODY!"

I started off with meds but because I wasn't pushing correctly, they let them wear off so I ended up delivering with no meds.
If I had her when I had some sense, I would have gotten a mid wife and delivered her differently. I think laying on your back is the worst position.... | |
