I have 2 children. I had 1 shot of demerol with each labor, which helped me relax and then I was able to concentrate and push those kids out (within an hour of the shot). Epidurals scare me. My husband (not the father of my 1st 2) wants me to go natural this time around (I'm 21 weeks now) and not have anything. I waited as long as I could last time but the shot really REALLY helped. He says I can squeeze his hand so hard I break it if necessary but does not want me to have any drugs. I'm worried he'll think less of me if I have something to help. I told him the next delivery he could do and have it natural. What do you guys think? I know going all natural is the best way, obviously, and will do that if I can handle it but I thought 1 shot of demerol was pretty good too.
