Thank you. I, and a bunch of my friends, were only able to progress after getting epidurals. We joke that it's because we're all control freaks, lol. But it's probably party true-- we weren't able to relax enough to go with the contractions and let our bodies do the work until we got some pain relief. I went from 3-10 in 2 hours after getting my epidural.luci417 wrote:Ugh I hate it when moms say they've 'failed' for needing pain relief. It's just a nicer way of saying they think women who plan to have pain relief during birth are failures or lesser in some way for not doing it naturally. The pain is just your body's way of alerting you that your labour is progressing and if you already know what's happening and it's being monitored by doctors or midwives then it's not really serving any purpose to you.aral12 wrote:A few people to reply to so I thought a fresh post would be best. It's hilarious to hate watch. I honestly have 0 sympathy, she went in with ridiculous expectations and at the same time she still gives off vibes that she thinks she's better than medical intervention? Even though she had pitosin and an epi. Also I think possibly I didn't watch properly- but did she skip gas and go straight to an epi? If so that's a very strange choice for someone wanting to be so natural. I can't recall from the birth vlog but I'm pretty sure in this video she said her pain relief was the bath/ hot water and that wasn't helping anymore so Corbin suggested she get an epidural.
It annoys me so much that she says it was such a long labour even though she admits she didn't even know it was labour and the contractions were so irregular to start with it was like she was barely in labour for the first 20 or so hours she's claiming.

Also there is NO WAY their birthing centre would just stand by and let Kelsey labour naturally for 50 hours. There are so many complications that could potentially arise from that for mom and baby. She's talking crap.
I am glad that Kelsey is OK with her birth not going "according to plan". It seems to be about the only thing these two have handled with any grace. I'm surprised, because she seemed so adamant about it before going into labor. So good for her.
