My girlfriend toyed with the idea of doing a natural, painful childbirth. I’d like to say I made her see reason. So she opted for the epidural. After a 25 hour labor leading up to a ten pound vaginal birth, she concluded I was right.
My wife has no pain threshold whatsoever. When she was pregnant with our first, we went to the OB’s office together to discuss delivery options. She expressed the same idea of doing an “all natural” birth. Me and the OB both laughed out loud. She realized her own limitations and opted for the epidural.
If god had intended for women to give birth with out drugs he would not have invented anesthesia.
I’m rather amazed at the comments from men about how they made their women realise how foolish they were to consider natural childbirth. They may have been totally correct but I would never consider imposing that choice on the grounds that I knew better, especially as I don’t seem to be able to experience it myself due to my chromosome makeup.
The lesson should be to keep your mouth shut in the delivery room!
The other lesson I learnt in the delivery room was to keep your fingers well away from a birthing mother’s mouth mouth.
