Hon, I have 6 drug free natural births....

Had no preperation other than I didn't want drugs or c-sections, and hoped all went to plan.... I was very lucky!!!

I just went with the pain hon. I moved, rocked, walked and squated. Laying on the bed is a killer.
Every contraction i thought, "thats one more down, getting closer to the end" after a while of doing this I got a rhythum up.. and before I knew it, it was time to push....

I had the thought that drugs just were not an option, so I had to get through...

My labours were
8 hr
4 hr
2.5 hr
2 hr
1 hr
1hr 50 min

After all this, I found for me labour was best standing next to the bed, squating down in a contraction, leaning over the bed... and my best labours were standing, and on all fours leaning on the bed head, so kinda upright, butt in the air....

Good luck babe!!!!
