Spin off- did you give birth naturally, or did you need medical intervention?

I had back labor and contractions that started and stayed at 1 minute apart. Of course, I had an epidural. What sane woman wouldn't?

Plenty of us sane women choose not to for personal reasons. I won’t imply you did something wrong by choosing an epidural, I’d appreciate the same courtesy. Let’s not try to make each other feel bad for our personal pain tolerance and pain management decisions, ok?

Did I attack you personally? Nope, I certainly did not. I am not responsible for you getting your panties in a F***ing twist. My reply stands, as is.

Yes, you did. Grow up. It’s old and tired. Women who don’t choose epidurals aren’t insane. Women who choose epidurals aren’t stupid. Stop being part of the problem

No, actually I did not. You chose to be offended.

So you don’t think anyone is responsible for the impact their words have? I can say about insulting thing I want about whatever group of people I please and if it bothers them it’s their own fault for choosing to get offended?

That’s an extremely juvenile way of thinking.

I’m not actually offended at all because I’m fully confident in my own body decisions, but I’m also mature enough to not mock others for the choices that were right for them.

I had an epidural for pain but I gave birth naturally with both. No medication was needed start or advance labor. It happened on it's own just fine. Only thing that was given to me was Saline and the epidural.

Yeah, you're reading too much into it and choosing to be offended. If it don't apply, let it fly. She made a tongue in cheek comment, get over it.

With both my kids, my water broke, but I didn't go into labor on my own and needed pitocin.

First baby was technically natural, but there was some placenta previa that caused some surprise bleeding at 33 weeks and required monitoring, specialist attention, and modified bedrest. It had resolved itself by 36 weeks so I was allowed to deliver vaginally when contractions happened on their own at 37 weeks. So Ill count that one as requiring medical intervention.

And the 2nd baby was a full placental previa requiring a c section at 36 weeks and some time in the nicu for the boy.

1 all natural, not even time for pain drugs. The other was an emergency c-section due to toxemia (called preeclampsia now I think)
