I also want to add there is no medal for suffering. If you need help, then take it. It’s okay. Just because women have done it for thousands of years, doesn’t mean it HAS to be that way. I think if there was such a thing back then they would have 1000% had an epidural.
If you can go 100% natural! That’s awesome! If you get an epidural, then that’s awesome too! Anything to get that baby(ies) here safe and sound!
