A debate for natural vs epidural will more than likely not get very far.
I wanted a natural birth, I was told as soon as I was 4cm dilated I would have (yes, have) to have an epidural as I was delivering twins and they wanted to be prepared for theatre... I ended up with a emergency c section under general anaesthetic..
I didnt get to make the choice on my delivery, not everyone does so there isnt much of a debate.. Some people may not want an epi but have to have one... It would just get all messy and defensive, like this one has.
What does "prepared for theatre" mean? I had no idea they could make you get an epi!
Neither did I until I was having my girls.. I never got to have an epi as I stayed at 3cm all the way until I had them lol..
It just means that they would be ready for the delivery if there was a complication. In my case there was so I had to be put to sleep. I was in intensive care after I had the twins and they were in NNU.
Just so you know in future, they can't 'make' you do anything. Its your body and your decision.
