I need advice from mothers who had a natural childbirth!!!!!!

I would suggest that you take Lamaze classes to learn breathing techniques. They really helped me thru my 3 childbirths.

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter. I am sorry to hear that your baby girls birth was over 20 hours long and you had quite a lot of medical intervention. I hope that all is going well for you now and your dear little baby girl. I had a home birth with my toddler son. My labor lasted just two and a half hours. I didn't need any pain relief. I had some strong contractions and didn't need to push at all. It was the most perfect birth I could have hoped for. I hope for something similar in June when my baby girl is due to be born.

I had a natural childbirth with my now three month old son. He was my first baby and I didn't really want to go natural because I was scared of the pain but he came quickly and we had no choice. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Breathing really helped, yoga style breathing and NOT that panting that you always see. Very slow in through the nose and out through the mouth with a long cleansing breath at the end of the contraction.

I have had two children and both natural births, I really dont think there is anything you can do to avoid a section sadly sometimes its just required for baby and mothers safety! Make sure you are sitting properly at all times to help baby stay in the correct position while you are still pregnant, prefarably with you hips higher than your knees! Natural births are possible for most women though, try some raspberry leaf tea from 36 weeks this helps prepare the uterus for contractions keep calm and relaxed through the contractions and as upright as possible walking around the room if you can if not then lent over the back of a chair did the trick for me! My labours were 2 hours 45 mins and 1 hour 23 minutes long no pain releif the first time but i did require some the second time because it was that fast and intense and painful good luck!

i had 4 natural child births mine where plained that way i didnt want any pain mends and let me tell you 2 of them where very long labors my first one was 2 days and 12 hours and my second one was easy he was only 4 hours my third was 2 weeks and 3 days of pain but i got through it just fine with no meds, my 4th one was 9 hours but that one wasnt that bad because i walked around when i was in labor it made it hurt less, and i am a small woman i am only 5 feet and weight 90 lbs so if i can do it i know you can . the advice i can give you is when you are in labor see if they will let you walk because it makes it hurt less also when you are lying in the bed move from side to side it helps , make your plain clear that you dont want a epidural ahead of time thats what i had to do all 4 times i just thank god i didnt need a c section . good luck and just believe in yourself, and you can do it.

I had a natural childbirth. Well I was induced at 37 weeks 6 days due to low fluid. I was already 4 cm dilated, 80% effaced before I got induced. I was induced with pitocin and for 8 hours, the monitors where reading that I was contracting but I wasnt feeling them. Then they broke my water and a hour and half later I had her. I had wanted an epi but i progressed too fast. It hurt like hell and I felt like I wanted to die but Im glad I did it that way. Yes the pain is extreme but its a healthier route to go.

I had natural birth, but it wasn't planned, it just happened so fast nothing could be done. I would suggest you let your doctor know beforehand that you would like a natural childbirth. I am sure the doctor will be okay with that, and of course if the pain is too great they would be able to intervene.

I have given Natural childbirth 3 times and if you ask me it is the way to go. Just remember that your baby can feel what you are feeling so try to stay calm so you do not stress you or the baby out. When I went to have a contraction I hummed and tapped my finger and tried to relax as much as I could. The more you carry on and make a fuss the worse it is really. So screaming and such just really makes it harder on you and the baby. So just take some deep breaths and put your mind at ease. Find something to do during contraction to try to calm yourself the pain will go away although it seems to last forever. Lamaze did not really seem to help me although I have heard from some women it helped them I took it with my first child and well it just made me want to throw up when I tried to do it when in labor. I wish you the best of luck hun and will be praying for you. Like I said just remember that your baby feels what you feel so.... Keep that in mind.
