Aww, you'll do great!

Lyle said...

Yeah, that's why I've never gotten pregnant.

Ginger said...

That's why you should do natural childbirth...no needles!

Carla said...

Giving birth at home = no needles!
You'll do fine, Laura. And when it's all over, you'll have a sweet little girl. :)

Are you people kidding me? It really hurts - get an epidural! (I know Liz - she's done my dishes.) The epidural is WAY better than labor.

Rae said...

Go for the epidural!!! You'll be fine. . . women have been doing this for thousands of years, (without them) right? (I have to tell myself that each time, but I'm still here!) Besides. . . it's totally worth it!!!!

Actually my labors with Emily and David didn't hurt so long as I could get in a good position and relax. Pushing hurt like the dickens... but sometimes epidurals fail and then it hurts anyway! You should be prepared to go either way. A good book to read (although take it with a grain of salt 'cause she is super
a natural) is Natural Childbirth, the Bradley way. It was so helpful!! The important thing is that your birth is something that you look back on as a positive experience, no matter if that means an epidural or not. :) Here's the link, you'll have to cut and paste cause I don't know how to get it in here.
