I'm due in December with our second and am hoping to birth this one unmedicated. Last time, I made it to about 6 cm before I asked for the epidural and then received it at 8 or 9 cm, so I can very clearly remember that sensation (discomfort) of labor. My doula this time suggested the body-ready method and I know there's also hypnobirthing, but I would love to hear your experiences with what worked and didn't work.
My birth goal is "healthy mom, healthy baby" so I'm flexible to potential medical situations that could require medical interventions, hopefully we have a continued healthy pregnancy and then birth. My goal with "unmedicated" is for a speedier recovery as most of my postpartum healing came from pushing on an epidural for two hours. Thank you!
