Good on u!
IT just to annoy the **** out of me everyone told me take the drugs, u cant do it without them blah blah, what a load of crock!

I had pre labour for days,weeks, anyway, the day i went into labour i had bad period cramping for hours, i started having contractions and had them 3 min apart for a while at home ,i had back pain ,but i was coping fine , called the hossy around 9 at night they said to come in when i felt i could not cope, we were going to stay at home as i was coping fine but we went in as the hot water ran out LOL..

Walked into the hossy fine, contractions along the way, went to the loo lost my plug, and was 6 cm dialated on examination,laboured for a few hours, pushed for 1 hour and bub arrived at 230.
I had no drugs,the ice chips were my drugs of choice I had a 8 hour labour + pushing..
I didn't need drugs, yeah it hurt it hurt a lot but my birth exp didn't require them, and why take drugs if u dont need them? I had a great birthing exp ,And it really gets to me when ppl say 'take the drugs'

Good on u for wanting what u want,stick with it and do what u can to have the birth you want, if something happens and u need drugs, take them, don't feel bad about doing it as situations do arise that can't always be helped ! U are going to do an amazing job!
