YOu know I was reading my friend Nina's blog and I realized I wanted to talk on that subject as it sets me off to no end when I hear, "Its not good to use pain medicines during labor" or "I'm better than you because I went through the pain of child birth that you didn't!"
Excuse me!
There are two catagories of people who looks down upon us who are sane enough to realize we need drugs during labor...
1) Those who haven't even had the experience of having a child..Sorry but until you go through some of the pain of childbirth..you have no right to judge others.its a pain you know NOTHING about.
and
2) Those who wants to Justify the fact that they didn't have any drugs by making you look bad..Some people True enough doesn't have much pain..cause I guess there pelvis is Huge and the baby is small..but most of us ENDURE Lots of PAIN and there is nothing wrong with an epidural or stadol or whatever other drug is offered during the pangs of labor.
and there is a small percentage who missed the "window of opportunity" for such drugs and when later on they hear others getting to use pain medication I guess they get jealous and rub it in there face that, "I had it Natural with no drugs!"
Like thats what you wanted because it wasn't.
My Sister-in-law did this too me. ESSH!
Well I didn't have any my kids via birth canal..I had a C-section for failure to progress but I did get a Epidural when I got to 4 CM dialated I think it was with my first son.
and The twins I had to get a C-section because they were afraid of my cervix ripping open from the previous C-section..yes its true that most of the time, they always try for a VBAC (vaginal birth after C-section) but because I was now carrying twins that was out of the question.
OPINIONS?
