Hi, I've posted this in teen pregnancy too but want to get a range of answers :
I really want a natural drug-free birth.. but my pain threshold isn't too good. Everyone is making comments such as 'you won't be able to not have an epidural with what you're like with pain' etc.
I haven't taken any pain relief throughout this pregnancy such as paracetamol even when I've been in total agony, just to prove a point to myself and to 'prepare' a little. I seem to have got it into my head this will help me cope better :/
Am I just punishing myself from other people's comments and has anyone had a drug-free or minimal drug birth that doesn't have a great pain tolerance?
Thanks ladies x
