Yep. I don't tell my birth story a lot because people get a bit narky? At the fact I have had drug free births. I was like you, the idea of a large needle in my back was a lot more scary than birth.
Don't listen. Do want you feel is right for you
Why is this?? I get it too. It's like if you've had a positive birth you're lying and only all the horror stories are true.
