I am 37 weeks now, so getting close! I am quite sure that I will get an epidural if pain becomes unbearable during labour..I will try the gas and air first but I dont see the point of being in more pain than necessary, when I dont have to!
However...I keep having everyone tell me not to get the epidural, my mother, my mother in law etc...they act like I am being a wimp, and say 'well we done it, so can you'! I even had a friend, who is not and has never been pregnant say (in a really irritating way) 'Well when I give birth I am going to do it without any pain med, just to say that I have done it'...I mean, its not a competition amongst women as to who is the 'strongest'!!!!
Why do some woman act like this, like they are better than those who decide to take the epidural, it is driving me crazy!!!
