I've never had a baby so you may want to skip my advice....however.....I was in the delivery room when my friend had her baby (coolest thing I've ever seen). And one minute she was screaming, and crying.....then the epideral was administered and she never made another negative sound. I mean she pushed the baby out like it was nothing. I thought she was so brave, and she credits it all to the epideral. I always thought that WHEN I have a child I would try to do it natural, but watching her made me think twice.
That is the only advice I can give!!! Good luck & God Bless!!!!!
