natural or caesar?
Hi doctor and moms out there. I am pregnant with my first and I am already starting to stress about child birth. I am very worried about the pain of vaginal birth but on the same hand I am absolutely petrified of the epidural and the "operation" with a caesar. (the cut and stitches etc are making me nauseus just thinking about it). Can you have injections to ease pain with a vaginal birth? I hope I don't sound like a terrible mom to be. I know millions go through with it everyday. Can somebody make some suggestions?
You can have Morphine injections in labour or you could have an epidural, which takes the pain away.
