Creamish:Yes. There is so much love to be had between the sexes, but it seems whenever women wish to self-govern their own issues, it is often (mis)interpreted as an affront to men/culture/traditions. Sigh. We come in peace. Really, we do. Well, most of us do. 2 Likes |

mutter: I don't think it is a matter of being scared. It's more of the logical approach. Why should I feel pain when I do not have to? I don't understand why the pain part has to be experienced? What does it add to anything. Does it ensure that the child is healthier? Does it make the woman stay sexy forever? I mean what is so important about the pain? Also most women feel the pain before epidural. For many they have already labored for a while before they get it. No one wants to give you epidural when you're not at a reasonably progressed stage of labor. So it's not like you get it when you are 5 months pregnant pending when labor kicks in. Labor has already begun and in many cases pushing is near before epidural comes. I just don't understand how the pain of pushing the baby out and feeling your vagina being cut by a scalpel adds anything to my womanhood. 8 Likes |

soulglo: This pain is different from other pain. It announces the coming of a child. the first contractions are shorter and not so painful. As the contractions get intense, the stomach tightens up more you get excited because the baby is almost there. There is no pain in between the contractions. Then at the end you can be active pushing the baby out yourself. Feel it passing through , feel the relief when the baby pups out and the pain is gone completely. Be able to yell at the kids and tell them how you suffered to bring them to the world |

mutter:[size=13pt] At a point, I was really convinced that there's no biggie if you want to have epidural. What matters is the baby comes out safe and sound and the mother is also fine but after reading the bolded, meehhn! If I were a lady, I'll rather have it the natural way Flytefalls bravo!

Hi Rokiatu As far as I m concerned I wish I could have a baby this is not the case for now : I pray God that he makes my dreams come true when I ll decide to be a mother and really hope this would be in a natural way . Now I celebrate sisters who had in vitro birth because of many troubles and I admire them I couldn't think about what they have been through |

I find this topic quite interesting because I have had discussions with some friends over this. I had my first child naturally even though I had the option of using an epidural (free of charge in UK ) but I didn't think I needed it as I was coping quite well with the pain. My personal opinion is this: I believe the pain of childbirth is something that has been designed by God as part of the birth process. Yes, it was punishment to Eve and to all of womanhood but then, everything God does is perfect including the process of childbirth as painful as it may seem. I believe that there is something about the natural process that gives one a full understanding of what it really means to bring a child to this world, what our mothers went through to bring us to this world, what women go through to have children from unwanted pregnancies that may have been rejected by both the father and her family and the significance of every child in this world, regardless of the circumstances of their birth. By eliminating that part of the process, I don't think one can fully appreciate the gift of motherhood and the process of bringing a life to this world. Therefore, as for me, I would not use the epidural unless there is a medical reason e.g. if I had to do a ceasarian or labour becomes too difficult and unbearable such that it will be stupid for me not to use it to save my life and that of the child. But in any case, I believe everyone has a right to exercise their choice as they wish. I do not condemn or criticise women who chose to use the epidural. I fully respect everyone's right to chose how they want to deliver as long as themselves and the child are not at risk. But from my personal experience, I have come to appreciate the natural process of childbirth and will go through the same by God's grace for my other children and my prayer is that it will be even easier subsequently. 1 Like |

You sit on your high chair and spew forth everything in your mouth cos you ain't the one who will bear the pain. Who are you to tell a woman that she shouldn't have epidural for the simple reason that she has to prove that she is a woman? So carrying and nurturing that child in her womb for 9 months is not enough to show that she is worthy of being called a mother simply becos she chose to have her baby without pain. What of all the discomfort she felt all those months waiting in anticipation to have that child. You sit there cos you don't have to do the work. Your point of view is just skewed. I am happy I am not married to you. You are the type that makes me ask why God didn't let men have the responsibility of carrying babies. I bet you ask your wife to do all the hard chores in the house while you raise your feet at home and fart around simply she is a woman and must act as woman whether or not she is up to it or not while carrying a baby. I really do not envy who you are married to. Go on with Ur bigoted views. I wish you luck. 50calibre: 7 Likes |

[quote author=crackhaus post=30606926] Lol... you're not the first woman I'm hearing this from, but then again you could just settle for the epidural if it's really what you want - as long as the person in charge of administering it knows his/her stuff, it should be fine. As for wide hips, the next person who tells me it eases childbirth will have to prove it somehow, Lol...especially the Efik people of Proudly eyen efik, calabar, cross river with enough hips. The two times I went that way I saw pains which I will not wish my worst enemy. On my 3rd and now thinking of epidural if that will ease the pains |
