Did you have an awesome experience and wouldn't change a thing? My oldest - the experience was pretty bad. I had gone to classes, knew all about what to do, but when I got to the hospital I really couldn't control the pain. They wheeled me in to have an epideral and the doc said "Too late - the baby's coming" so they gave me a spinal and my daughter was born about 1 hour after I got to the hospital.

With my second I wouldn't do anything different and it was awesome.  I was prepared - no  drugs - nothing. She's now a doctor. Having said this I don't think there is any right or wrong way to have a baby. I'm not better for having no drugs nor would I be worse if I had the epidural.

Did you have a birth plan until you became pregnant and/or gave birth?

I did. I planned to not have an at home mid wife. I planned on no drugs both times but I also held open the epidural option.

How would you do things differently if you had it to do over again?

I would without a doubt have an epidural. As great as the experience was with my second the pain is amazing and I wouldn't go through that again.

Have your reviewed your OB physician, hospital, nausea meds, prenatal and baby supplies, birth control, etc? lol N/A

Lisa - I think we were putting the crib together the night before I had my oldest daughter. Maybe I should have realized those pains weren't Braxton Hicks!!
