Both my labours were drug free - the first time because they would have been useless as he was well on his way out, the second time was because I made a conscious decision I could do it drug-free.
And I did. All 27 minutes of it - lol.
Eh maybe not such a feat
DS 1 was 8 pound 6 and DS2 was 9 pound 10 and not a stitch in sight.
Labour itself isnt too bad, but the crowning burns like nothing I've ever felt before, it's kind of a satisfying feeling though, cause it doesn't last forever.
p.s Mayaness - agree totallyvery glad I made a drug-free choice!
Just read Kelly's post, and was reminded of the midwife I had when i was in labour with DS1. She kept saying "push! you need to push!" and I'm panting "No! I don't need to push!"
I think she got a little annoyed, but I got a little annoyed too when she turned to the nurse and said "if this baby's not out in the next 10 minutes, we're going to slice her."
um. b!tch.
