2nd labour
My first birth was so long and slow and I was in so much pain I ended up with an epidural, episiotomy and Ventouse delivery it was so overwhelming and I know it sounds stupid but I was so upset I couldn't do it on my own and felt weak for having an epidural :( I really want this one to be different!

If you wan things to go differently this time, take a good childbirth education class that will teach you what positions to do during labor, how to move during labor, what slows down labor, what to do with an epidural and how not to be 100% numb to where you can’t push. Most of the time, the reason why birth goes like this for many women is due to bad positioning during labor, lack of movement and not knowing your options when it comes to pain medication. For example you can receive a very low dose of epidural where you can still feel things without feeling pain, or you can have the epidural turned off at 10cm to gain back feeling and so much more
I had an epidural I even took a picture as I was proud I did it🤣
