Welcome to part three of my series: Epidural VS Unmedicated Birth!
If you read the first two posts, you know that my two birth experiences were completely different. My first was an induction with an epidural, and my second was a totally unmedicated birth without so much as an IV port. There are pros and cons to both in my opinion, and I want to share my thoughts on that with you.
Jack's Induction // Epidural Birth
:: Pros ::
:: Cons ::
Henry's Birth // Unmedicated :: Pros ::
:: Cons ::
:: Conclusion :: All in all, I consider myself very lucky. Both of my pregnancies and births resulted in a healthy baby and healthy Mama, and that of course is the goal. I'm grateful for both experiences, as they gave me two very different perspectives. But if we decided to add to our family, and I were to birth again, I would most likely opt for another unmedicated birth. I feel like the pros outweighed the cons for me. My induction with Jack left me feeling like everything was happening TO me, and that I was only a participant in his birth, while overall Henry's birth left me feeling empowered. My hope in sharing my two birth experiences is that this information can be a resource for you in deciding what type of birth you want to have. Remember that you have options, Mama! Xx, Rebecca
