With my first I had a natural birth experience and did great. With my second my labor was much more painful and I opted for a epidural. Going into it this third time I am wanting a natural birth experience and scared I will chicken out and ask for meds. With my first the labor wasn't as painful as the pushing and I felt the second time if I had to go through the pain I was having with my labor that time and then have to have the pain and burn of pushing I would likely be too exhausted to push and give up... not likely what would have happened, but I did feel faint from the pain and am fearing that I will give in this time. Any suggestions on ways to calm yourself and get through the pain? I just remember the pain going all the way down my thighs and feeling crippling.
